Iodized Salt. Iodized table salt has been used to provide supplemental iodine to the U.S. population since 1924, when producers, in cooperation with the Michigan State Medical Society (24), began a voluntary program of salt iodization in Michigan that ultimately led to the elimination of iodine deficiency in the United States. More than 50% of the table salt sold in the United States is iodized. Potassium iodide in table salt at levels of 0.006% to 0.01% KI is one of two sources of iodine for food-grade salt approved by the U.S. Food and Dmg Administration. The other, cuprous iodide, is not used by U.S. salt producers. Iodine may be added to a food so that the daily intake does not exceed 225 p.g for adults and children over four years of age. Potassium iodide is unstable under conditions of extreme moisture and temperature, particularly in an acid environment. Sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate is added to increase alkalinity, and sodium thiosulfate or dextrose is added to stabilize potassium iodide. Without a stabilizer, potassium iodide is oxidized to iodine and lost by volatilization from the product. Potassium iodate, far more stable than potassium iodide, is widely used in other parts of the world, but is not approved for use in the United States.

In U.S. EPA Office of Radiation Program s New House Evaluation Program (NEWHEP), two builders in the Denver area, two in Colorado Springs, and one in Southfield, Michigan, installed various radon-resistant features in houses during construction. A sampling of subsequent measurements of indoor radon, adjacent soil gas radon, and soil radium content is summarized in Table 31.6.36... 

Two visual studies of Freon boiling crisis were conducted at the University of Pittsburgh (Lippert, 1971) and at Michigan University (Mattson et al., 1973). Both programs succeeded in identifying the DNB under the saw-shaped bubble layer of subcooled Freon flows as shown in Figures 5.8 and 5.9, respectively...

A year ago we moved back to Louisiana. I was well enough to travel, and my career with the sick school program really took off. I presented workshops in Canada, Nebraska, several locations in Illinois and Michigan, Faribaut and Bloomington, Minnesota. I was scheduled to be in Duluth in April, but I had to cancel due to my third massive exposure. 

Voluntary cleanup programs (VCPs) began in 1989 in Michigan and have become quite popular since about 1995. VCPs typically apply to those sites that are not on the CERCLA NPL or State Minifund lists, or are not handled under the RCRA permitting process. With VCPs, a responsible entity with funding is set forth solely for remediation to put the site to some beneficial use.
