And can get into the brain.
Magnetite is a naturally occurring iron oxide mineral and is in the base-rock in many areas of the world. Higher concentrations of it would occur in the environment where iron ore is mined. It is insoluble so its presence in the water supplies is negligible. Is there some kind of a scare going around?
Our house is on well water. Our well is served by an aquifer which is RICH in iron deposits. A major constituent of that iron exists in the form of magnetite.
We just filter it out to taste. We could probably filter it to much lower concentrations simply by adding a centrifugal cartridge lined on the outside with bar magnets, but we're not particularly worried about a form of 'pollution' which exists naturally.
And look at the bright side. If we drink enough of it we'll have our own inboard compass. :-)

l never need iron supplements.
Correct! :-)
The added iron might also explain why my muscles and my ____ are so hard. LOL!
All cities do not have pollution.
Oh yes they do...and big government is the only solution!
Please note that if you disagree with this stance, you're a (insert pejorative label here). :-)
That is the stupidest thing I've read on the internet in a long time
Magnetite is fairly common in the Earths crust as it is expelled from volcanoes and the ash sprinkles the whole planet. Besides magnetite is fairly harmless and nothing to worry about.
I disagree...big government is the problem.
Humans ARE pollution.
Element, I think Nim is kidding.
Element, Thrifty is correct. See the smiley? :-)
Hey, s/he didn't say anything about global warming. :-D
Sure...you say that now...until your head explodes in an MRI. :-)
Humans are like Tribbles. We're cuddly and make cute noises...until you feed us. :-)
I caught the sarcasm Marg. You know me.
Some are more like gremlins.
