ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

• Iodine may pose environmental risks, particularly to fish.
• Iodine in the air can settle into water or soils after combining with water molecules. When iodine is present in the soil, it will bond with organic matter & stay this way for a very long time, Such soils may allow iodine to be absorbed by plants.
