In 1956 and 1957, the US Air Force's former Arctic Aeromedical Laboratory conducted a study of the role of the thyroid in human acclimatization to cold. This book evaluates the research, looking at both the possible health effects of Iodine-131 administration in humans and the ethics of human subjects research.
