Yes, iodine is found naturally in soil and water. In areas where the soil itself is deficient in iodine, the water does not contain this chemical and the native population exhibit evidence of iodine deficiency.

∙ 14y agoNatural iodine can be found in seawater and in sea creatures and seaweed in the form of iodides, in Chilean saltpeter and in nitrate-bearing earth (caliche), as well as in waters from salt and oil wells, and in brines from old sea deposits. Iodide is also sometimes found in vegetables grown in iodine-rich soil. In the United States, iodine is added to salt and so can be found in many processed foods as well.

What country is iodine found in?
iodine was found in France by Bernard Courtois in 1811 In Boston Massachusetts
Is Iodine a metal or nonmetal?
Iodine is a nonmetal but it can be found in solid forms. Iodine experiences sublimation which is the transition from solid to gas, therefore it skips the liquid form.
What is in Iodine?
There is nothing 'inside' of Iodine. Iodine is a Pure Substance, otherwise known as an Element, therefore it has nothing more in it than it's building blocks, which aren't exactly 'in' Iodine either, Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, and Quarks.
How does Iodine react with water?
Iodine naturally occurs in water and cannot be found as an element, but rather as I2 molecules. When it reacts with water, the product is hypoiodite.
Was South Carolina known as the Iodine State at one time?
South Carolina was known as the Iodine State because of the large percentage of iodine found in the vegetables grown in the state. Iodine State was even a banner on state vehicle license plates during the 1930's.
What country is iodine found in?

Is iodine a synthetic element?
Iodine is found in nature and is not synthesized. As an example, there is iodine in sea water.
Which hormone contain iodine?
Iodine is found in thyroxine.It is secreted by thyroid
Is iodine a pure substance?
Solid iodine can be found as pure crystals.
Can iodine be found in the human body?
Yes. Iodine is a necessary nutrient.
Where is iodine normally found?
The thyroid requires a good deal of iodine.
Is iodine found in thyroid hormones?
No. Iodine is not found in the thyroid hormones, but Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxin hormone. Actually yes, iodine is found in the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, the most common forms of thyroid hormone.
Where is lodine found?
Iodine is rare in the solar system and Earth's crust ; however, iodide salts are often very soluble in water. Iodine occurs in slightly greater concentrations in seawater than in rocks, 0.05 vs. 0.04 ppm. Minerals containing iodine include caliche, found in Chile. The brown algae Laminaria and Fucus found in temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere contain 0.028-0.454 dry weight percent of iodine. Aside from tungsten, iodine is the heaviest element to be essential in living organisms.
Where are the halogen family in the US?
The halogen family of elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine) are found pretty much everywhere on Earth.
Halogen found in seaweed?
Iodine.
How common is iodine on earth?
The average relative abundance of iodine in earth's crustal rocks is 80 ppb, count of atoms, or 490 ppb by weight.
Is iodine is a pure substance?
Solid iodine can be found as pure crystals.
