Interesting facts about Iron

  • It was discovered before 5000 BC.
  • The body of an adult human contains about 4 grams (0.005% body weight) of iron, mostly in hemoglobin and myoglobin. 
  • Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world.
  • The fraction of iron that is in Earth's crust only amounts to about 5% of the overall mass of the crust and is thus only the fourth most abundant element in that layer (after oxygen, silicon, and aluminum).
  • Iron meteorites are the main form of natural metallic iron on the Earth's surface.
  • Cast iron was first produced in China during the 5th century BC, but rare in Europe until the medieval period.
  • Since pure iron is quite soft, it is most commonly combined with alloying elements to make steel.
