I
don't think this is exactly what you want, I guess this is more for trivia's
sake ...
The
following papers talk about radioiodine binding to the biofilms in the sewers -
so the transit time from flush to sewage treatment plant is increased compared
to other radionuclides. Don't know if this is helpful, but it is
interesting you have to admit...
Fenner, F.D. J.E. Martin. 1997. Behavior of Na-131 I
and Meta (131-I) iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in municipal sewarage. Health
Physics. 73(2):333-339
Prichard, H.M. T.F. Gesell., and E. Davis. 1981.

Medical Complex. Amer. J. Public Health. 71(1):47-52
