dc.description.abstractThis thesis investigates the level of iodine consumption in Zariametropolisusing individual duplicate diet assessment, total diet assessment and food frequency questionnaire. The project also includes the study of transfer of iodine from soil to crop in some selected plants, and the determination of iodine contents of table salt. Standard spectroscopic and radiochemical neutron activation techniques were used for iodine determination in the samples and the results obtained were validated by the use of standard reference materials. The concentrations range from 0.14 ± 0.04 to 2.04 ± 0.11mg/ kg, with meanconcentration of1.30mg/kg in duplicate diet sample, while that of total diet range from 0.30 ± 0.05 to 2.09 ± 0.08 mg/ kg, with meanconcentration of 1.43mg/kg.The iodine consumption per day range from 224 to1165 mg/day and 464 to 2237 mg/day for duplicate and total diet respectively.Iodized table salt was found to contain iodine from 14.87 ± 0.51mg/ kg to 74.78 ± 0.59 mg/ kg with a mean of 41.89mg/ kg.The results indicates that the studied population’siodine dietary intake meets the recommended daily allowance(150μg/day) of the WHO and ICCIDD. However, the iodine intake level is also too close to the upper tolerable intake level(1100μg/day) advised by the WHOen_US
