9. How can I protect myself?
我如何保护我自己?

Keep you and your family informed by obtaining accurate and authoritative information (for example, information from authorities delivered by radio, TV or the Internet) and following your government's instructions.
确保你和你的家人知情,通过获取准确、权威的信息(例如,来自当局通过之声、电视或互联网发布的信息)并且按贵国政府的指示行动。

The decision to stockpile or take potassium iodide tablets should be based on information provided by national health authorities who will be in the best position to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant these steps.
民众应该根据国家卫生机构发布的信息,决定是否应该储存或服用钾片。因为这些信息才是根据足够证据所作出的权威判断。

10. What are potassium iodide pills?
什么是碘化钾片?

In the setting of a nuclear power plant accident, potassium iodide pills are given to saturate the thyroid gland and prevent the uptake of radioactive iodine. When given before or shortly after exposure, this step can reduce the risk of cancer in the long term.
在核电厂事的情况下,碘化钾药片是用来饱和甲状腺,防止放射性碘的吸收。在辐射暴露前或之后服用,从长远来讲可以减少患癌症的风险。

Potassium iodide pills are not "radiation antidotes". They do not protect against external radiation, or against any other radioactive substances besides radioactive iodine. They may also cause medical complications for some individuals such as persons with poorly functioning kidney and therefore taking potassium iodide should be started only when there is a clear public health recommendation to take this step.
钾片碘片都并非“核辐射解毒剂”。除了放射性碘,他们不能阻止外部的辐射、或是任何其他辐射性物质。如果盲目服用,对某些人群甚至会造成副作用。比如肾脏功能不健全的人群就不适合服用。因而服用钾片碘片的举措必须在清楚的官方指示下进行。

11. Can pregnant women take potassium iodide pills?
孕妇可以服用碘化钾药片吗?

Pregnant women should take potassium iodide pills only when instructed by the competent authorities because the thyroid of a pregnant woman accumulates radioactive iodine at a higher rate than other adults and because the thyroid of the fetus is also blocked by giving potassium iodide pills to the mother.
孕妇应该在主管部门的指导下服用碘化钾片,因为孕妇的甲状腺积累放射性碘的速度比其他成年人要高。同时,胎儿的甲状腺也会因母亲服用碘化钾而受到保护。
