Abstract

In the present work on radiochemical neutron activation analysis for the determination of iodine in urine samples, the performance of three different radiochemical separation techniques, namely, direct extraction, use of an iodinated ion-exchange resin column and Schöniger combustion, were intercompared and validated. The practical advantages of the iodinated-resin technique make it most suitable for the rapid routine determination of iodine in urine. It was further verified by participation in an international intercomparison run of urine analysis, and used in a pilot study on iodine determination in the urine of 171 Slovenian schoolchildren, where it gave results in good agreement with the catalytic method.
