Phosphorus preserving pillar at Qutub Minar from rust

The iron pillar at the Qutub Minar complex here - one of the most enduring mysteries of Indian history - does not rust probably because of the high phosphorus content in the structure, experts said Friday.

The experts from various fields had arrived here to find what was protecting the 1,600-year-old structure, which is 7.2 metres long and weighs more than 6,000 kg, from rust.
