Description
Potassium iodide (abbreviated as KI) is a chemical compound that serves as a protective measure against radioactive iodine exposure, a byproduct of nuclear accidents or incidents. When taken orally, potassium iodide floors the thyroid glad with stable iodine, effectively blocking the absorption or radioactive iodine isotopes.
