The pills have been available free of charge at select pharmacies, but will now be sent by mail due to increased safety standards.How Potassium Iodide (KI) Works - KI is a pill or liquid that can be used in radiation emergencies that involve radioactive iodine. KI contains non-radioactive iodine. Non-radioactive iodine helps prevent radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland.Workplace Radiation Incidents - Workplaces like health care facilities research institutions, and industrial operations may use radiation sources.Improvised Nuclear Device - An Improvised Nuclear Device (IND) is a type of nuclear weapon. When an IND explodes, it gives of four types of energy: a blast wave, intense light, heat, and radiation. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of the World War II is an example of an IND.Nuclear Power Plant Emergency - During an emergency at a nuclear power plant, radioactive material could be released into the environment and contaminate air, soil, surfaces, food and water.Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission: Canadian Potassium iodide (KI) Pill Working Group - In 2019, the CNSC established a Potassium Iodide (KI) Pill Working Group and Advisory Committee to provide clarity on the existing plans and associated responsible authorities to distribute KI pills in the Ingestion Planning Zone (IPZ), in the event of an emergency at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.Patient Information Sheet for RadBlock - Take RadBlock or give to children only when public health officials advise you. In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine could be released into the air. RadBlock protects the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine. Children up to 18 years of age are most at risk. It is important that you follow the instructions carefully when administering RadBlock to children.What is a dirty bomb? - A dirty bomb is a mix of explosives, such as dynamite, and radioactive powder or pellets. It is also known as a radiological dispersal device (RDD).Dirty Bomb or Radiological Dispersal Device -The main danger from a dirty bomb comes from the explosion, not the radiation. The explosion can cause serious injuries and property damage.Radiation Emergencies and Pregnancy - After a radiation emergency, pregnant women should follow instructions from emergency officials and seek medical attention as soon as emergency officials say it is safe to do so.KI CanadaTel: 416-857-4464 | Email: support@kicanada.com
