Abstract:
Iodine is a flight-proven disinfectant which because of its unique properties, will probably be used on the Space Station and future manned spaceflight applications. However, present knowledge of and experience with iodination is insufficient to assess crew safety when used in conjunction with reclamation or recycle systems, especially if the reclaimed water is consumed.
