- 12 elements are more specific available in the Dead Sea are which are not available in other sea or ocean.
Comparison of Dead Sea salts with Ocean Salts
- Chlorine is found in 224.9 mg/l while normal sea water contains 29 mg/l of chlorine concentration
- Magnesium is found in 44.0 mg/l while normal sea water contains 01.35mg/l of magnesium concentration
- Sodium is found at 40.10 mg/l while normal sea water contains 10.50 mg/l of sodium concentration.
- Calcium is found at 17.20 mg/l while normal sea water contains 00.40 mg/l of calcium concentration.
- Potassium is found in 0.765 mg/l while normal sea water contains 00.39 mg/l of potassium concentration
