Extraction and consumption
- Often extracted from saltwater
- Few environmental impacts as easy to obtain
- Humans add iodine gas into air from burning fossil fuels
- Radioactive iodine (e.g 131) is released from power plants and contains uranium
- Cycles throughout environment and precipitates in food
- Consumed by humans
- Not much data on impacts on other cycles
- Iodine can combine with water particles
- Precipitates in soil or water
- Integrates with organic matter
- Remains fixed in same place for a long time
