Bromine: United States
built 646 days ago
Bromine is a non-renewable resource. Bromine is only found in large quantities in four countries: the United States, Israel, Jordan and China. The bromine exploitation and extraction costs are very high in the US; whereas the costs are relatively low in China because of high bromine concentration and geographically easy exploitation of bromine wells.

Bromine and its species are routinely monitored by the statewide ARB air toxics network. The network's mean concentration of bromine and its species from January 1996 through December 1996 is estimated to be 8.4 nanograms per cubic meter (ng/m3) (ARB, 1997c).

Ninety percent of Dead Sea Bromine's shares are owned by Israel Chemicals, formerly a state-owned enterprise and now a private holding company for as many as 21 corporations. Israeli entreprepeneur Shoul Eisenberg owns 25 percent of Israel Chemicals.
