Abstract

• The purpose of this research work was to study the amount of iodine contents and intermolecular bond structure of seaweed from three locations (Waegali, Haigyii and Kyaikkhami) in Mon State. These samples were analysed by using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) techniques. From the EDXRF measurement, the result showed that iodine contents of seaweed from three locations (Waegali, Haigyii and Kyaikkhami) were 17.81%, 15.79% and 18.50% respectively. It was found that the iodine isotope as in treatment of diagnosis and diseases of the thyroid gland or thyroid cancers.
