NOVEL POLYMER-BASED SHIELDS TO PROTECT AGAINST NUCLEAR RADIATION INCLUDING

SHIELDS TO PROTECT ATTENDANTS, DOCTORS AND NURSES AGAINST EXPOSURE TO RADIO-IODINE

THYROID CANCER

Novel polymer-based shields to protect against radioactive iodine are produced. Radioactive iodine, also called radioiodine, causes thyroid cancer and other serious illness. Thyroid cancer occurs more frequently in neighborhoods close to nuclear reactors, waste facilities and other entities dealing with radioactive iodine. In hospitals and clinics, the doctors, nurses and attendees may be exposed to radioactive iodine during and after radio-iodine therapy of patients having thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. Thyroid cancer cases in USA have tripled in the last three decades (NBC news, August 2016).

According to a congressional study, Americans are being exposed to radiation from thyroid cancer patients discharged from the hospital following treatment with radio-iodine (CBS news,October 2010).

Molecular Materials and Devices, Inc. holds patents on specific materials and methods involved in producing protective articles made from proprietary polymers. At present, there is no other means commercially available for effective protection against radioactive iodine. There is only a passive approach available that uses potassium iodide to saturate the thyroid gland thereby inhibiting interaction with radioactive iodine. However this method is inefficient and does not work if someone is not aware of the presence of radioactive iodine at a given location and time. Too much intake of potassium iodide causes additional health risks.

The shields made of the polymers referred to here are flexible and can be processed into any sizes and shapes.
