Iodisation of Lake Katwe Salt, Kasese District [PDF]
International Journal of Scientific Research, 2012 The raw rock salt was analysed for its chemical composition in terms of selected chemical species. It exhib- ited a large quantity of chemical impurities with sulphate at 20.7% w/w, carbonate 31.7 %, magnesium 945 ppm, iron 168 ppm, calcium 74 ppm and zinc at 18 ppm with chloride anion at 1.54% w/w. Titrimetry was used for determination of chloride and

Assessment of status of salt iodisation in Delhi [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1999 The National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi was identified as an iodine deficiency endemic area in 1980. The government of NCT of Delhi banned the sale of non-iodised salt since 1989. The present study was aimed to estimate the iodine content of salt consumed in the households of the state. Thirty clusters were selected using population proportionate

Iodine loss from iodised salt on heating
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1997Iodine deficiency disorders constitute a major public health problem in India. The national IDD control programme (NIDDCP) relies solely on iodine supplementation through fortification of common salt with potassium iodate. However, data regarding iodine loss due to high temperatures of cooking procedure is scarce. Using iodometric titration methods, we

Iodine losses in iodised salt following different storage methods [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2000 Iodine retention in three types of iodised salt viz., powdered salt, white crystal and brown crystal salt was estimated at an interval of 15 days following commonly practised storage methods i.e., glass jar with lid, plastic jar with lid, earthernware pot with lid, cut open salt packet and salt pack as it is.

The challenges of implementing and monitoring of salt iodisation programmes
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010Assuring adequate iodine nutrition is key to preventing iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). The primary strategy to assuring adequate iodine nutrition in most populations is through the iodisation of salt. The challenges of implementing and monitoring salt iodisation programmes are described.

Epidemiology of iodine deficiency: Salt iodisation and iodine status
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010Universal salt iodisation (USI) and iodine supplementation are highly effective strategies for preventing and controlling iodine deficiency. USI is now implemented in nearly all countries worldwide, and two-thirds of the world's population is covered by iodised salt. The number of countries with iodine deficiency as a national public health problem has

Mandatory iodisation of India's salt ends
The Lancet, 2000On September 13 the Indian government finally withdrew its 2-year-old order making iodization of edible salt compulsory and statutory. The order was issued in 1998 to prevent iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). Now the order has been withdrawn despite health ministers of most of the Indian states being in its favor.
