10. What are potassium iodide pills?
什么是碘化鉀片？

In the setting of a nuclear power plant accident, potassium iodide pills are given to saturate the thyroid gland and prevent the uptake of radioactive iodine. When given before or shortly after exposure, this step can reduce the risk of cancer in the long term.
在核電廠事的情況下，碘化鉀藥片是用來飽和甲狀腺，防止放射性碘的吸收。在輻射暴露前或之后服用，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來講可以減少患癌癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

Potassium iodide pills are not "radiation antidotes". They do not protect against external radiation, or against any other radioactive substances besides radioactive iodine. They may also cause medical complications for some individuals such as persons with poorly functioning kidney and therefore taking potassium iodide should be started only when there is a clear public health recommendation to take this step.
鉀片碘片都并非“核輻射解毒劑”。除了放射性碘，他們不能阻止外部的輻射、或是任何其他輻射性物質(zhì)。如果盲目服用，對(duì)某些人群甚至?xí)斐筛弊饔?。比如腎臟功能不健全的人群就不適合服用。因而服用鉀片碘片的舉措必須在清楚的官方指示下進(jìn)行。

11. Can pregnant women take potassium iodide pills?
孕婦可以服用碘化鉀藥片嗎？

Pregnant women should take potassium iodide pills only when instructed by the competent authorities because the thyroid of a pregnant woman accumulates radioactive iodine at a higher rate than other adults and because the thyroid of the fetus is also blocked by giving potassium iodide pills to the mother.
孕婦應(yīng)該在主管部門的指導(dǎo)下服用碘化鉀片，因?yàn)樵袐D的甲狀腺積累放射性碘的速度比其他成年人要高。同時(shí)，胎兒的甲狀腺也會(huì)因母親服用碘化鉀而受到保護(hù)。
