Iodine is an essential micronutrient for most of the living beings, including humans. Besides its indispensable role in animals, it also plays an important role in the environment. It undergoes several chemical and biological transformations resulting in the production of volatile methylated iodides, which play a key role in the iodine's global geochemical cycle. Since it can also mitigate the process of climate change, it is reasonable to study its biogeochemistry. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide information on its origin, global fluxes and mechanisms of production in the environment.
碘是包括人类在内的大多数生物必需的微量营养素。除了在动物体内具有不可或缺的作用外,它在环境中也起着重要作用。它经历了几种化学和生物转化,产生挥发性甲基碘化物,这些甲基碘化物在碘的全球地球化学循环中起着关键作用。由于它还可以缓解气候变化进程,因此研究其生物地球化学是合理的。因此,本综述的目的是提供有关其来源、全球通量以及在环境中产生机制的信息。
