Salt desert of Sirjan is a salt field in Iran that appears after arrival of a flood tide and evaporates. It is a field of soluble salt. Occasionally, rain turns it into a salt lake. The salt factory established near this place uses this salt to produce edible salt. Vegetation in area is very poor because of high temperature evaporation and poor soil.

This area is polluted and damaged because of the waste and garbage of the near iron factory.[1][2][3][4][citation needed]
