Seaweed - Status of Iodine and Climate Change in Tasmania, 3rd in Tasmanian iodine trilogy, signed | Paul AC Richards & colleagues | 2022 [USED – SC]

The third book in a trilogy on iodine and public health in Tasmania, following Goitre Monitor: The History of Iodine Deficiency in Tasmania (2007) and Iodophor: Iodine Change in Tasmania (2014–2020). Seaweed traces the changing epidemiology of iodine deficiency disorders from Tibet to Tasmania, the history of iodised salt introduced to combat goitre from 1833, and the iodine prophylactic practices used in Tasmanian medical and agricultural history.

Chapters cover the role of seaweeds in our oceans, the Tasmanian seaweed industry, the microbiology and science of iodine and seaweed, harvesting seaweed and aquaculture in Tasmania and the UK, and the effects of ocean and climate change on iodine deficiency in Tasmania, Ireland, Japan and New Zealand, with contributions from a range of Tasmanian and international researchers. Concludes with a discussion of iodine sufficiency in Tasmania and future projections, including a 2021 Tasmanian schoolchildren iodine survey.
