Iodine is an essential element for human health and industrial progress, playing a vital role in regulating thyroid function and fetal brain development.

Its deficiency causes disorders such as goiter, mental retardation in children, and fertility problems. Natural sources of this element include saltwater fish, seaweed, and fortified salts, but meeting daily requirements demands precise planning. In industry, iodine has wide applications; from producing disinfectants for surgeries and medical imaging contrast agents to manufacturing advanced technologies like LED displays and solar energy storage systems. The agricultural sector also uses iodine as a dietary supplement for livestock and a growth enhancer for plants. Kansar Khazar Company, utilizing the rich brine reserves of Golestan Province, is recognized as one of the top producers in the region. By employing cutting-edge technologies, this company not only meets the domestic demand for iodine but also elevates Iran's position in regional markets through exports to neighboring countries.
