Another paper reports that ZVI can remove up to 98% of influent phosphorus at low input concentrations, and at high concentrations is shown to remove up to 36% of incoming phosphorus. The phosphorus retained in the soil is mostly iron-bound, which will not be easily leached out of the system because it is very stable.<ref>Lechner L.
