[雙語(yǔ)新聞] 國(guó)內(nèi)出現(xiàn)“搶鹽”現(xiàn)象 碘可以防輻射？

 

世界衛(wèi)生組織（WHO, World Health Organization）3月15日在其官方網(wǎng)站上發(fā)布日本核爆炸事件相關(guān)問(wèn)題集（FAQs: Japan nuclear concerns），為民眾解答核輻射后如何保護(hù)自己的相關(guān)問(wèn)題。其中特別提及：碘化鉀片并不是“核輻射解毒劑”。一般用于核爆前、或核爆剛剛結(jié)束后，才 能降低核輻射程度。并建議民眾一定要在官方指導(dǎo)下服用該類藥品。

　　以下是節(jié)選自WHO官方文件的相關(guān)解釋：

　　 →The decision to stockpile or take potassium iodide tablets should be based on information provided by national health authorities who will be in the best position to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant these steps.

　　民眾應(yīng)該根據(jù)國(guó)家衛(wèi)生機(jī)構(gòu)發(fā)布的信息，決定是否應(yīng)該儲(chǔ)存或服用鉀片。因?yàn)檫@些信息才是根據(jù)足夠證據(jù)所作出的權(quán)威判斷。

　 　→Potassium iodide pills are not "radiation antidotes". They do not protect against external radiation, or against any other radioactive substances besides radioactive iodine. They may also cause medical complications for some individuals such as persons with poorly functioning kidney and therefore taking potassium iodide should be started only when there is a clear public health recommendation to take this step.

　　鉀片碘片都并非“核輻射解毒劑”。他們不能阻止外部的輻射、或是任何其他輻射形式。如果盲目服用，對(duì)某些人群甚至?xí)斐筛弊饔?。比如腎臟功能不健全的人群就不適合服用。因而服用鉀片碘片的舉措必須在清楚的官方指示下進(jìn)行。
