    The document discusses several key points: 1. A study on evaporation rates of brine in Uganda found that higher brine temperatures lead to increased evaporation, while lower relative humidity leads to negative evaporation. Salt is produced seasonally and sold to neighboring countries for purification and human consumption. 2. Global iodine deficiency has decreased in recent decades, but remains a public health problem. A study in the Philippines found that government policies like mandatory iodization of salt have nearly eliminated iodine deficiency among high school students in one area of the country. Similar public health strategies could help other iodine-deficient regions.

    The model predicted evaporation rates increasing with increasing brine temperatures
    and a negative evaporation due to the low relative humidity at that instant. When the
    brine temperature was higher than the ambient temperature, sky temperature and
    soil temperature; the heat due to convection, radiation and ground were lost to the
    surrounding and vice versa. The brine temperatures where highest when; the
    ambient temperature was high, relative humidity was low and high solar radiant
    energy. The correlations showed that ambient and sky temperature had a perfect
    correlation as well as the solar radiation and the heat gain due to solar radiation. The
    ambient temperature, sky temperature and the dew point temperature had strong
    correlations. Salt is produced for six (6) months of the year during the dry seasons.
    The salt is sold to neighbouring countries for purification and then re-imported at a
    premium. And this salt is used for the leather tanning industry but there are also uses
    in a more pure form for human consumption.

    Over the past two decades, global iodine nutrition status has markedly been
    improved. According to the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency
    Disorders (ICCIDD), the number of iodine deficient countries was decreased from 54
    countries in 2003 to only 32 countries in 2011. However, iodine deficiency still
    remains one of the most important public health problems. The Philippines has been
    overcoming iodine deficiency through government policies such as ASIN law which
    mandated the addition of iodine to all salt for animal and human consumption since
    1995. This study revealed that only 4% of high school students are iodine deficient in
    Tuguegarao, the Philippines, indicating that iodine deficiency in this age group has
    been nearly overcome by efforts of the Philippines government and the WHO
    ICCIDD. This study is conducted in only one area of the Philippines; however, it
    could be helpful for many countries with a similar iodine status around the world to
    establish their own public health strategies to eliminate iodine deficiency.
