environmental concerns of iron ore pollution

The Effects of Iron in Water on Aquatic Life

Higher levels of iron in fish and aquatic plants also has negative effects on the people or creatures consuming them. Repercussions Large amounts of iron promote growth of algae, which can block sunlight from other plants and can disrupt habitats and feeding practices. Extensive algae presence lowers water freshness and promotes stagnation.

Iron Ore

Iron is the world's most commonly used metal, and iron ore is a key ingredient for steel making. To produce 1,000 kilograms of crude steel requires about 1,400 kilograms of iron ore (and around 800 kilograms of coal). Iron can be alloyed with a variety of elements to produce stronger and harder products which are useful in the construction
