One of the most effective and well-established methods for the prevention of endemic goitre is the enrichment of table salt with appropriate amounts of iodine. A simple field test has been developed by which anyone, without special chemical training, can verify whether a sample of table salt has been enriched with iodine as required by local health regulations. Since all the equipment needed can conveniently be assembled as a small portable kit, the proposed method, which is highly sensitive, is appropriate for health workers in areas prone to endemic goitre.
预防地方性甲状腺肿最有效且已得到充分证实的方法之一是在食盐中添加适量碘。现已开发出一种简单的现场测试方法，无需经过特殊化学培训，任何人都能据此验证食盐样本是否已按当地卫生规定添加了碘。由于所需的所有设备都能方便地组装成一个小型便携式套件，这种高度灵敏的方法适合于地方性甲状腺肿高发地区的卫生工作者使用。
