Answer:

Iodine is naturally present in water.

Explanation:

Iodine occurs naturally in water in the form of iodide (I– ), which is largely oxidized to iodine  during water treatment.

The mean concentration of total iodine present in drinking water isbetween  4 µg/litre to 18 µg/litre, consumed in teh form of iodide. Iodine exposure  for human body is through food, water and medicines.

Iodine is resposnible for various functions in the body including synthesis of   thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and  triiodothyronine (T3) and Iodide is excreted by the kidneys which is partially absorbed  from the tubules following glomerular filtration.

As water is one of the natural sources of iodine, its absence in water can cause several diseases or disorder in human body such as goiter, cretinism, hypothyroidism, decreased fertility rate and mental retardation.
