Microbial Contribution to Iodine Speciation in Hanford's Central Plateau Groundwater: Iodide Oxidation

A waste product from plutonium production at Hanford, the radioisotope iodine-129 (129I), is an environmental concern due to its long half-life, mobility, and hazardous potential to humans through bioaccumulation in the thyroid gland. Consequently, understanding the biological mechanisms and contrib...
