Appl Geochem 63 (2015), 282–302 In this review, the authors give a deepen overview on the main aspects dominating the geochemistry of iodine, with particular emphasis on its volatilization and the transfer of the iodine species from the marine environment to the atmosphere and the terrestrial environment, including soils, waters and plants. The possible sources of iodine for human diet are discussed with an attempt to correlate the role of the environmental geochemistry of iodine in IDD prevalence.

Particularly well developed are the sections dealing with the biogeochemical dynamics of iodine, its behaviour in the soil and the aspects related to the use of the element to improve plant growth and their antioxidant response.

Results indicate that multiple biofortification with these elements is feasible but the choice of the distribution system (soil versus foliar application) and of the plant species is critical.

PLOS ONE, 11, 2016, e0152680 The effects of the addition to diet of raw or cooked iodine biofortified carrot was analysed on the iodine pathway in an animal study with Wistar rats. Iodine content in selected tissues, lipid profile, thyroid hormone concentration and mRNA expression of selected genes, determined comparing iodine-enriched and control diet, indicated that biofortified carrot, especially raw, can be a good source of bioavailable iodine.
