What Is Potassium Iodide Used For?
POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI) is an inorganic compound that plays a key role in various medical and industrial applications. It is used mainly as a source of iodine, an essential nutrient needed for the synthesis of thyroid hormones needed to regulate metabolism and growth. In medicine, potassium iodide is given to prevent thyroid cancer in people who have been exposed to radioactive iodine, especially in the event of a nuclear accident. It is also used as a supplement to treat iodine deficiency and some thyroid disorders. In addition, potassium iodide is used in photography, as a reagent for chemical analysis, and in the preparation of iodized contrast media for medical imaging. Its versatility and effectiveness make potassium iodide a valuable compound in many fields.
