This natural salt (iodide) found in certain foods acts as a radiation filter, preventing its uptake by the thyroid glands and shielding our glandular system and organs from electromagnetic damage.
The resulting radiation filter effect will be less pronounced with these photoinitiators where the absorbance extends up to 400 nm rather than with the hydroxyphenylketones which absorb precisely in the 250-300 nm wavelength region.
With recent recognition that certain pollutants are eroding this natural radiation filter, researchers have raced against the clock to find substitutes for the chlorofluorocarbons and other compounds responsible.
