"Oral. Iodine
appears to be inactivated by combination with
gastrointestinal contents. Absorption is poor due to rapid
conversion of iodine to iodide. (Reynolds, 1989; Gilman
et al., 1990).
"Inhalation.
Iodine is absorbed from the lungs, converted to iodide in the
body, (ILO 1971). Pulmonary absorption of vapour may result in
systemic poisoning (Gosselin et al., 1984).
"Dermal. Only very small
quantities of iodine are absorbed through an intact skin,
(Reynolds, 1989). Iodine can be absorbed by wounds and abrasions.
Enhanced absorption occurs through denuded skin, decubitus
ulcers, mucosal surfaces with high absorptive capacity (vagina),
or large areas of intact skin, (Dela Cruz et al., 1987; Vorherr
et al., 1989; Prager & Gardner 1979; Cosman et al., 1988).
"Eye. Iodine can
be absorbed when applied on the eye, (Geisthoevel, 1984).
"Parenteral. No
data available."
