The cause of Siderosis is excessive deposition of iron in the body tissue.

Explanation:

Siderosis is a condition characterized by the accumulation of iron in body tissues, particularly the lungs. It often occurs as a result of prolonged exposure to iron-containing dust or particles, commonly in certain occupational settings such as iron and steel industries. Inhaling iron dust over an extended period can lead to the deposition of iron in the lungs and other tissues, causing health issues associated with iron overload.
