Recently, the situation that the public rushes to purchase iodized salt has appeared in some areas in China. As to this, the Zhejiang Province relevant person in charge of department of public health says, the iodine content in iodized salt is relatively low, play a role in preventing the radioactive iodine. Meanwhile, the iodine slice has no function in blocking the other radioactive materials besides radioactive iodine. (www.xinhuanet.com of March 17) The nuclear radiation taking place in Japanese seismic sea wave initiation has initiated the concern of the nuclear safety of the whole world, true and false that does not know one " The range picture of radiation " Also spread on the net, the radiation which may bring in nuclear radiation is endangered, in addition people are afraid the sea water is not have salt that is eaten by pollution, make it appear in a lot of district not to rush to purchase iodized salt. But rush to purchase the iodine one and really prevent nuclear radiation effectively? China disease accuse of " nuclear to protect the main point of knowledge with the radiation accident " that centre release recently reveal, can take the iodine one to reduce the thyroid gland to absorb the radioactive iodine, but WHO,etc. reminds, the iodine slice is not " Radiate and detoxify pharmaceuticals " ,Can't offer the shelter function directed against the radioactive element such as cesium, and, not all crowds should take the iodine one, because it may bring the health risk to some crowds including pregnant woman. On the other hand, iodized salt is in liberal supply, the statement that the sea water suffers pollution lacks scientific basis too, and the source of the salt is not merely limited to the sea water, is well salt, rock salt,etc.. Under the salt output at present in our country, it is out of question to ensure supplying safely too. In author's view, it is a good opportunity of popular science too to rush to purchase the iodized salt disturbance. Can let the public find out about more professional science knowledge about nuclear safety, iodine,etc., expedite the emergence of teenagers' popular science enthusiasm, improve the public's scientific accomplishment, can be while propagating popular science, reduce the public's panic mood, pursue the effective mechanism of propaganda of popular science, these is promoted to citizen's scientific accomplishment and the concern of the environmental security, one's own right is of great advantage. Such as the result according to the eighth Chinese citizen scientific accomplishment which China Science and Technology Association announced of last year's investigation, the citizen proportion with basic science accomplishment of China's Mainland will be 3.27% in 2010, it is equivalent to levels 20 years ago of main western developed countries and regions such as Japan, Canada, European Union,etc.. In all information correlated to science, the information of development in science and technology that the public of China is most interested in is " medical science and health " ,Selection ratio is 82.7% (People's Daily 2.23) . So, improve resident's scientific accomplishment and let residents differentiate and analyse and judge oneself, also can not reduce scientifically information greatly and transmit the fear brought fast. The reason why Japan's nuclear radiation accident initiates worrying, and present the phenomenon which is rushed to purchase iodized salt, it is better to say that lie in the shortage of relevant knowledge than to say that it is to the fear of the nuclear safety, and the authority, speciality, it is insufficient on the information transmission with public trust, not in time, the two are integrative to a certain extent. So, should strengthen and propagate on one hand, reduce the anxious mood of guiding people, the ones that ensured information are abundant and transparent, on the other hand should take this opportunity to launch popular science activity,etc. even more, and let the activity melt at ordinary times and improve people's scientific accomplishment. See easily, medias report relevant information in a large amount now, the experts and scholars appear to clarify etc. scientifically, the in fact similar activity can well be brought into the daily popular science activity, institutionalized.
