Summary

It has been shown that iodine present as iodide in milk can be quantitatively removed by passing the milk through a column of an anion-exchange resin in the chloride form. Any residual iodine is present as non-ionic species which are not removed by the resin.

This technique was used to determine the non-ionic iodine in milk at various times after the oral administration of a single dose of 131I to dairy cows and also during a multiple-dose experiment. Non-ionic131I was present in milk 6 h after its administration and the fraction in this form varied considerably in milk from different cows, ranging from 1·2 to 14·5% of the total 131I content. The chemical form of the nonionic iodine was not investigated.
