Černobiļas kodolavārija ir izraisījusi strauju radiācijas izraisīta vairogdziedzera vēža pieaugumu bērniem un pusaudžiem stipri piesārņotajās Ukrainas, Baltkrievijas un Krievijas teritorijās.
Cēlonis ir radioaktīvais jods, kas izdalās lielos daudzumos smagu reaktoru avāriju laikā. Pēc absorbcijas organismā tas tiek uzglabāts vairogdziedzerī, kur tas noved pie augsta vietējā starojuma iedarbības.
Stabils jods kālija jodīda tabletēs īslaicīgi piesātina vairogdziedzeri ar jodu (“joda blokāde”). Tāpēc ieelpoto radioaktīvo jodu vairogdziedzeris vairs neuzsūc, bet organisms to ātri izdala. Tādā veidā var izvairīties no lielām vairogdziedzera starojuma devām un samazināt radiācijas izraisīta vairogdziedzera vēža biežumu līdz minimumam.1
