Function:
-1. Potassium iodide, also called KI is a salt of stable (not radioactive) iodine. The compound is required by the body to make thyroid hormones.
- 2. The major uses of potassium iodide include nutritional supplement in animal feeds. It is also used medicinally in tablets, and also fins application in hair dyes.
-3. Potassium Iodide is sometimes added in small quantities to table salt for idolization. This crystalline salt is also used as a fluorescence quenching agent in biomedical research because of collisional quenching by its iodide ion.
