Practically the entire population of Belarus was exposed to radioactive iodine for several months after the disaster. As a result, the incidence of thyroid cancer, especially among irradiated children and adolescents, rose to levels unprecedented in world history.

The programme against iodine deficiency disorders (IDD).

Lack of dietary iodine causes growth stimulation in the thyroid, and some studies suggest that iodine deficiency increases the risk of radiation induced thyroid cancer.

It is also necessary to continue iodine deficiency treatment, especially in children.

According to forecasts, however, in addition to the growing incidence of thyroid cancer among persons exposed to radioactive iodine, an increase in the number of cases of other forms of malignant neoplasm and cardiovascular and other non oncological types of disease may be expected in the years immediately ahead.

Iodine deficiency is traditionally endemic in many of the areas affected by the Chernobyl accident.

Whatever the linkage, eradication of iodine deficiency carries a clear health benefit, particularly for children.

Over the last 15 years, UNICEF has led a global effort to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders, the most widespread cause of preventable mental retardation among children.

E management of radioactive sources (Regulatory Authority Information System (RAIS) software)

Efforts in health care focus on documenting the health impact of radiation detecting and treating the thyroid cancer that has resulted from exposure to radioactive iodine in the first days after the accident and improving the provision of health care in Chernobyl affected regions and propagating healthy lifestyles an approach that aims not only to teach people how to reduce radiation exposure but to counter more potent health threats, such as tobacco and alcohol abuse and poor diet.

Article 18 of the Act prohibits introduction into Jordanian territory of any radioactive derivatives, such as radioactive waste or residue, or their use, processing, transport, storage, licensing or burial in that territory.
