Iodine…
… plays an essential role in human
metabolism and the early development [1]
… deficiency is the single most important
preventable cause of brain damage [2]
… recommended daily intake:150 µg for
adults, 250 µg in pregnancy and lactation [1]
… intake is insufficient for about 44% of the
population in WHO Europe region [3]

› How do we present it?
› Optimal conceptual model?
a) Interpolation (here IDW) *
b) East vs. West ^
c) Municipalities ^
d) Areas with similar characteristics based on Local Moraine's I analysis ^
e) Supply areas of the waterworks*

Iodine in Danish groundwater (brief summary)
› Heterogeneous spatial distribution at …… national scale… local scale… different depths of the same
well/aquifer
› Elevated iodine concentrations … … predominantly at depths >40 m.b.t… in samples of GW older than 25 years
(>27µg/L) … associated with reduced and alkaline GWs… related to the marine origin of the aquifers
› Site and depth specific factors
