Phytoremediation - Nature's Peaceful Solution To Industrial Pollution




We have a responsibility to provide for at least 7 generations ahead. Phytoremediation is a tool we can use to achieve that goal.

How do we know that phytoremediation works
to help us heal our environmental crisis? 

Below are some links, videos, books and experts
on 
phytoremediation as
a tool to solve 
many pollution problems, 
CO2 induced climate change, 
nuclear plants and waste, 
oil, lead, heavy metals, etc. 
plus additional
reference videos.

Please share any additional information
on this subject in the comments section below.


"In 1998, Phytotech, along with Consolidated Growers and Processors (CGP) and the Ukraine's Institute of Bast Crops, planted industrial hemp, Cannabis sp., for the purpose of removing contaminants near the Chernobyl site. Cannabis is in the Cannabidaceae family and is valuable for its fiber, which is used in ropes and other products. This industrial variety of hemp, incidentally, has only trace amounts of THC, the chemical that produces the "high" in a plant of the same genus commonly known as marijuana."




"Hemp and cesium accumulation • A study done in 2005 by Vandenhove and He's tested hemp's ability to uptake of radiocesium. – Sandy soils used to emulate Chernobyl conditions – Used a lysimeter and pots in greenhouse. • Soil was contaminated with approx. 326 kBq/kg in pots and 13.0 kBq/kg in the lysimeter and harvested after 186/136 days. • Chernobyl accident was contaminated at 1480 kBq/m^2" 




'Plant's ability to grow and thrive'
are shown to improve with





"Hemp Cleans is currently supporting research into development of cultivars which will be ideally suited to Colorado’s climate. The seed stock developed as a result of this research will be used for the purposes of expanding the phytoremediation pilot project to include evaluations of cultivation in fire-scorched alpine soils and saline agricultural environments."



              


"Overall, phytoremediation has great potential for cleaning up toxic metals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, and explosives. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that more than 30,000 sites in the United States alone require hazardous waste treatment. Restoring these areas and their soil, as well as disposing of the wastes, are costly projects, but the costs are expected to be reduced drastically if plants provide the phytoremediation results everyone is hoping for." 


"We all know that hemp was helpful in cleaning up the toxins around Chernobyl, and with a bit of planning by a mastermind alliance, can be used to clean up the environmental mess again.  

An immediate end to hemp prohibition will allow us to use this biomass champion in a hemp phytoremediation program.   

"Phytoremediation can be defined as the decontamination of soil, sediment or water using plant growth. Industrial hemp, Cannabis sativa L., is renowned for its ability to grow rapidly. In one growing season, fibre hemp can yield 250 to 400 plants per square metre, with each plant reaching up to 5 metres in height. As a result, hemp has been identified as a plant with the potential to serve as a phytoremediator."

The same way hemp was used to clean up the toxins around Chernobyl, we should be using hemp to clean up the toxins from the Gulf of Mexico "oil spill" (more like a volcano) and other environmental crisis situations.




"Why Use Phytoremediation? EPA uses phytoremediation for many reasons. It takes advantage of natural plant processes and requires less equipment and labor than other methods since plants do most of the work. Also, the site can be cleaned up without digging up and hauling soil or pumping groundwater, which saves energy. Trees and smaller plants used in phytoremediation help control soil erosion, make a site more attractive, reduce noise, and improve surrounding air quality. Phytoremediation has been successfully used at many sites, including at least 10 Superfund sites across the country"

"In the late 1990s industrial hemp was tested at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine to help heal the soil. Because of the quick rate in which it grows, up to 250 to 400 plants (15t in height) per square meter, industrial hemp showed it could clean the land of contaminated pollutants like sewer sludge, fly ash, and other metals. In 1989, three years after the explosion, the Soviet government asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to assess the radiological and health situation in the area around the power plant. Toxic metals and radioactive emissions were contaminating the dirt, plants, and animals. Iodine, cesium-137, strontium, and plutonium were among some of the harmful toxins infesting nearly everything in the surrounding area.
A soil cleanup method was proposed using green plants to remove the toxins from the soil in a technique called phytoremediation. This was the term created by Dr. Ilya Raskin of Rutgers University. He was one of the original members of the team who was asked to examine food safety at the Chernobyl site. Phytoremediation is a process that takes advantage of the fact that green plants can extract and concentrate certain elements within their ecosystem. Some plants can grow in metal-laden soils, extract certain metals through their roots, and accumulate them in their tissues without being damaged. In this way, pollutants are either removed from the soil and groundwater or rendered harmless. This complex filtering system would prove to be effective in sucking out pollutants and leaving only the natural, fresh, soil. Much like a maggot might be used to clean a wound.
There are a handful of scientists, researchers, and companies funding efforts to test the different varieties of plants that can be used in this process to clean polluted soils, and make no mistake, industrial hemp is at the forefront."

9. Hemp and the Decontamination of Radioactive Soil  http://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/hemp-decontamination-radioactive-soil/
"As a proven, valuable tool in the fight to repair human-inflicted damage to our soils and ecosystems, hemp could potentially benefit hundreds of thousands of sites across the globe—it is estimated that in the USA alone there are 30,000 sites requiring remediation. As is so often the case, US restrictions on hemp cultivation preclude any large-scale operations from being implemented, and the contaminated sites are largely left unremediated, through lack of both funding and interest on the part of the government."

Though not hemp specific it's USGS take on phytoremediation

"Phytoremediation - "Phytoremediation uses plants to clean up pollution in the environment. Plants can help clean up many kinds of pollution including metals, pesticides, explosives, and oil. The plants also help prevent wind, rain, and groundwater from carrying pollution away from sites to other areas. Phytoremediation works best at sites with low to medium amounts of pollution. Plants remove harmful chemicals from the ground when their roots take in water and nutrients from polluted soil, streams, and groundwater ... Once inside the plant, chemicals can be stored in the roots, stems, or leaves; changed into less harmful chemicals within the plant; or changed into gases that are released into the air as the plant transpires (breathes)." - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2001"

"Abstract
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was used to examine its capability as a renewable resource to decontaminate heavy metal polluted soils. The influence of heavy metals on the fibre quality was of special interest. Determination of heavy metal content was carried out by means of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Four different parts of the plant were examined: seeds, leaves, fibres and hurds. In each case, the concentration relation was Ni and Pb and Cd [ Notation: Ni - Nickel greater than Pb  - Lead, greater than Cd - Cadmium]. However, the heavy metal accumulation in the different parts of the plant was extremely different. All parts of hemp plants contain heavy metals and this is why their use as a commercially utilisable plant material is limited. We found that the highest concentrations of all examined metals were accumulated in the leaves. In this field trial, hemp showed a phytoremediation potential of 126 g Cd (ha vegetation period)−1. We tested the fibre quality by measuring the pure fibre content of the stems and the fibre properties after mechanical separation. In addition, the fibre fineness was examined using airflow systems and image analysis. The strength was measured by testing single fibre bundles with a free clamping distance of 3.2 mm using a universal testing device. Finally, we compared the results from the stems and fibres from trials on heavy metal polluted ground with hemp stems and fibres from non-polluted ground. Since there was no comparable unpolluted area near the polluted one, reference values were taken from an area quite far away and subsequently with a different soil composition and also exposure to different meteorological conditions. Thus, the observed differences are only partially caused by the heavy metal contamination."


We're talking hemp, thistle, sunflowers and the ever powerful mushrooms, etc. to demonstrate how phytoremediation works, in this page in the context of absorbing heavy metals from the soil.

"The Use of Phytoremediation for Hydraulic Control of Contaminants 

Plants can act as hydraulic pumps when their roots reach down toward the water table and establish a dense root mass that takes up large quantities of water. Poplar trees, for example, can transpire between 50 and 300 gallons of water per day out of the ground. The water consumption by the plants decreases the tendency of surface contaminants to move towards groundwater and into drinking water. The use of plants to rapidly uptake large volumes of water to contain or control the migration of subsurface water is known as hydraulic control. There are several applications that use plants for this purpose, such as riparian corridors/buffer strips and vegetative caps."



"For Pb [lead], a major soil contaminant, no hyperaccumulator species has been identified. However, several species, such as hemp dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), nodding thistle (Carduus nutans), and Asiatic dayflower (Commelina communis), were shown to have superior Pb accumulating properties (Berti and Cunningham, 1993). Practices have been developed to increase the potential of common nonaccumulator plants for Pb phytoextraction. Particularly, the uptake-inducing properties of synthetic chelates open the possibility of using high biomass producing crops for Pb phytoextraction. Under chelate-induced conditions, maize (Huang and Cunningham, 1996) and Indian mustard (Blaylock et al., 1997) have been successfully used to remove Pb from solution culture and contaminated soil, respectively. Physical characteristics of soil contamination are also important for the selection of remediating plants. For example, for the remediation of surface-contaminated soils, shallow rooted species would be appropriate to use, whereas deep-rooted plants would be the choice for more profound contamination. "




"Soil pollution caused by heavy metals is one of the major problems throughout the world. To maintain a safe and healthy environment for human beings, there is a dire need to identify hyperaccumulator plants and the underlying genes involved in heavy metals stress tolerance and accumulation. The goal of this research is to explore the potential of hemp as a decontaminator of heavy metals by identifying the two important heavy metals responsive genes, glutathione-disulfidereductase (GSR) and phospholipase D-α (PLDα). The results revealed heavy metals accumulation; Cu (1530 mg kg−1), Cd (151 mg kg−1), and Ni (123 mg kg−1) in hemp plants’ leaves collected from the contaminated site. This shows the ability of the hemp plant to tolerate heavy metals, perhaps due to the presence of stress tolerance genes. In this study, partial sequences of putative GSR (215 bp) and PLDα (517 bp) genes were identified, responsive to heavy metals stress in hemp leaves. Both genes exhibited 40–60% sequence identity to previously reported genes from other plant species. Glutathione binding residues and conserved arginine residues were found identical in a putative GSR gene to those of other plant species, while the phospholipids binding domain and catalytic domain were found in the PLDα gene. These results will help to improve our understanding about the phytoremediation potential of hemp as well as in manipulating GSR and PLDα genes in breeding programs to produce transgenic heavy-metals-tolerant varieties."




"Industrial hemp cultivars, Zolo-11, USO-31 and Zolo-15, were tested for their ability to accumulate U and Pb in the above-ground biomass. Plants were grown in soils with an average content of U 336_1 mg/kg (OH), Pb 911_53 mg/kg (NJ), or Pb 571_86 mg/ (farm soil). Results demonstrated that hemp is potentially a good phytoremediation crop. This fast growing, high biomass crop grew normally in the Pb- or U-contaminated soil. Industrial hemp responded positively to Phytotech's amendments and accumulated up to 5,447 mg/kg Pb and up to 560 mg/kg U from the soils that contained just 571 mg/kg Pb and 336 mg/kg U respectively. Cultivars of industrial hemp significantly differ in the ability to accumulate Pb and U, hence extensive screening may produce cultivars with better phytoremediation capacity."


"Radiation Levels of the Bridgeton landfill will be controllable under certain circumstances as it relates to surface and subsurface soil properties.

Specifically the surface of the existing soil to a depth of 8 feet. This is also the area and depth of the soil contaminates that are causing all the health issues associated with nuclear waste that are plaguing the residents of the Bridgeton and Cold Water Creek region."

"Safety Recommendations • Longer vertical steel casing • Complete cement bond between casing and well along entire well depth • Proper encasement for the storage/disposal of drilling waste, flow-back fluids and produced water • Treatment for soil and ground water at polluted sites – Phytoremediation and bioremediation of organic pollutants – Modeling movement in groundwater • Establish federal and world law regarding the safe practices for the use of fracking • Disclosure of fracking fluid" 




"REMEDIATION Once the land has been prepared for planting a wider variety of remediation plants may be grown to deal with the contamination. Various different processes occur within the plants to deal with the contaminants, and specific plants must be selected to appropriately deal with the various types of contamination.

Hemp's a highly versatile crop which may be used in the phytoremediation process. The plants are not affected by pests so no pesticides are required, and they grow extremely fast smothering any competing weeds. In addition to the employment generated during the remediation process the hemp may also be harvested and used to generate new long term industries. The fi bre yielded may be used for textiles, paper or as a low embodied energy building material and therefore employment opportunities can be created in the production, processing and manufacture of hemp based products such as housing, clothing and paper. The spin-off industries created should become economically sustainable helping to regenerate the wider area. Hemp branded products may command a premium using eco-friendly marketing to inflate their value and therefore ensure a position in the marketplace." 



Conclusions 1. The addition of anaerobic sewage sludge in high doses to pot experiments increased height one and a half and weight two-sevenfold of hemp. 2. At the conditions of heavy metals very low concentrations in the substratum, as at presented experiment the most heavy metals are [accumulated] in roots. The sorption of zinc and nickel at the greatest amount took place by root, copper at the greatest amount was accumulated in leaf. 3. The acquired results showed that it is advisable to dewater mesophilic anaerobic sewage sludge by fibrous hemp growing. The concentrations of Zn - 30 mg/dm3 , Cu - 5.6 mg/dm3 and Ni - 2.5 mg/dm3 mg/dm3 can be removed from soil-sludge substratum by fibrous hemp growing and did not cause a reduction of hemp height and weight. 

21. Natural Remediation at Savannah River Site---
http://sti.srs.gov/fulltext/ms2002075/ms2002075.html

"Abstract


Natural remediation is a general term that includes any technology or strategy that takes advantage of natural processes to restore a contaminated media to a condition that is protective of human health and the environment. Natural remediation techniques are often passive and minimally disruptive to the environment. They are generally implemented in conjunction with traditional remedial solutions for source control (i.e., capping, stabilization, removal, soil vapor extraction, etc.). Natural remediation techniques being employed at Savannah River Site (SRS) include enhanced bio-remediation, monitored natural attenuation, and phytoremediation.

Enhanced bio-remediation involves making nutrients available and conditions favorable for microbial growth. With proper precautions and feeding, the naturally existing microbes flourish and consume the contaminants. Case studies of enhanced bio-remediation include surface soils contaminated with PCBs and pesticides, and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) contamination in both the vadose zone and groundwater.

Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) has been selected as the preferred alternative for groundwater clean up at several SRS waste units. Successful implementation of MNA has been based on demonstration that sources have been controlled, groundwater modeling that indicates that plumes will not expand or reach surface water discharge points at levels that exceed regulatory limits, and continued monitoring.

Phytoremediation is being successfully implemented at one SRS waste unit and considered for others. Phytoremediation involves using plants and vegetation to uptake or break down contaminants in groundwater or soils. Case studies at SRS include managing groundwater plumes of tritium and VOCs with pine trees that are native to the area. Significant decreases in tritium discharge to a site stream have been realized in one phytoremediation project. Studies of other vegetation types, methods of application, and other target contaminants are underway."

Fix Fukushima Fast - Hemp & 3D Printing Solution Summit - Notes!

THE PROBLEM

 

Fukushima - What Happened



Hemp In The Nuclear Age Details

Problem: Elevated nuclear radiation readings from various Geiger Counters around the world. USA South West is being fried, possibly as a result of Fukushima, WIPP, historic nuclear testing development and the "leaks from the nuclear plant, i.e. in the USA, from the first nuclear plant in Idaho to beyond the biggest, Palo Verde in Arizona . Based on results, we’ve proven we have not evolved sufficiently to control nuclear energy.  There is no such thing as safe nuclear radiation exposure according to Dr. Helen Caldicott.



Solution: Like Casper Leitch says, it's Time 4 Hemp. 

To fix Fukushima: Entomb nuclear radiation sources in scientifically calculated for depth, doubled, 3D printed layers using the contour crafting technique of hempcrete, lead, tungsten and hemp plastic. Solving our nuclear crisis is one of the keys to continuing life on earth.  The key chain is truth and hemp is a charm. 
  • 3D printing gives us the ability to make a 2,500 square foot house in less than 24 hours, with entire building constructed using the technique.  
  • Hemp is a biomass champion, when combined with other safe elements, that can be used to entomb “leaking” nuclear facilities.  
  • Hemp phytoremediation can help clean soil. 
  • Medical marijuana, Ibogaine, nutrition, etc. help with cancer, maybe brain seizure issues, both physical and mental, that are here and must be dealt with now, before it gets worse. Use medical marijuana and other therapies that work for the cancers and seizures we know are here and may come from the high nuclear levels. 
That's the truth and we need to use it to set ourselves free.  Elevated radiation levels equals elevated cancer and seizure rates.  Speaking of seizures, it is the two brain seizures I've experienced over the last year that got me focused on this issue from a big picture perspective. 

As a side note, we can 3d print in hemp ocean water desalination plants and pipes.

“3D Printing” in this conversation includes 4D (self assembling) and 5D Printing too. Hemp is agricultural, industrial, medical, religious and recreational. It's best use is determined by is it male or female and how is it processed and consumed. Especially since cleaning up our highly radioactive environment should be everybody’s goal, all hands are required on deck to clean up our environmental, especially nuclear mess now.  

Of course adequately shielded robots, drones, and remote controlled big earth moving equipment are required too to cut off radiation escaping from the source, be it a plant or waste facility.

Most importantly, we must use the tool of unity to solve this and other crisis situations.  

The nuclear radiation goal is to return to natural radiation levels, what were they in the 1930's, before it's too late. TEPCO is doing a heroic job trying to fix what is called a "leak", more like a gusher, since 2011, the job is not close to complete.     

Now is the time to grow hemp everywhere possible to remove excess radiation from the soil. Hemp with it's six foot root system is a great phytoremediator. 

"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." -President George Washington, 1794 

What has me focused on this issue is my own health problems over the last year over what has otherwise been a healthy, almost 63 year old life. I've lived in Arizona a long time and I suspect the nuclear radiation levels contributed to the health situation I am healing. 

As demonstrated in Dr. Seuss’ book HORTON HEARS A WHO, we need all voices to break through and deal with the nuclear crisis now. The hemp solution factors in all the elements necessary to make our world better. Ibogaine can help with mental health issues like drug addictions and Parkinson’s. Nutritional support like what Dr. Joel Wallach is talking about to fight cancers and other conditions caused by chronic increased nuclear radiation exposure, should be included for conversation too in implementing solutions. 



Concept: 

ONLY TRUTH CAN SET US FREE.

Solving our nuclear crisis is one of the keys to continuing life on earth.  The key chain is truth. 

The mission of this on line chat is to share the knowledge and expand the concepts discussed.  A secondary benefit of an on line conference where folks can either chat, hold on line classes, whatever it works out as, this will serve to give activist new information from folks who know what they are talking about. 

Everyone is invited.  Independent YouTube video uploads with links are encouraged for detailed information.  Like the old school pot luck dinners, folks are welcome to bring their own links. The research is still in process.

Hang Out 

Who: Concerned Citizens of Sun – any human who wants to learn and/or add ideas as to how we can use hemp and 3D Printing to fix Fukushima. Solutions are not limited to that as it is the big picture that is the best guide, only the truth is true.

What: On line conference where folks share information and their feelings about solving many modern problems due to our poor decision making skills, i.e. “safe nuclear energy”, war, ‘making nature our bitch’. 

We have the technology and the ability to grow the raw resource materials necessary to accomplish the task, i.e. build ocean water desalinization plants and pipes using hempcrete, hemp plastic and papers.

When: This work continues until effective solutions are in place to save us from stupid decisions. 


Why: Because we’ve made parts of nature illegal and wonder why we have problems with the environment.  If we change the way we live and support nature, she will stop supporting us, or as George Carlin said ‘shake us off like a bad case of fleas.’ 

How: Using social media create a synergy of ideas, skills and resources to support the environment, i.e. human life on earth.  Change from what is killing us to what will empower us.

Topics – uploaded videos – conversation rooms – feedback centers could include, but certainly not limited to

Dr. Behrikh Khoshnevis, inventor contour crafting technique that can build a 2,500 sq. foot house in under 24 hours. 



We can use 3D printing’s contour crafting technique, robots and big earth moving equipment to 360 degrees entomb Fukushima, WIPP, 16,000 cracks in a Belgian nuclear plant, etc. 

We can also use the same technique to build ocean water desalinization plants and pipes out of locally grown hemp, radically reducing costs and enabling greater environmental resistance capabilities like rounded edges and a hemp plastic covering printed from the design.

HEMP AS A NUCLEAR PHYTOREMEDIATION TOOL – NUCLEAR and CO2

MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR THE CHRONIC, ELEVATED NUCLEAR RADIATION EXPOSURE CANCERS AND POSSIBLY BRAIN SEIZURES

IBOGAINE, RELIGIOUS AND RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA FOR THE TROUBLED SOUL

Religious and recreational marijuana / cannabis also have mind relaxing benefits, resembling the old saying ‘relax the animal so your spirit can soar.’ Given the double dynamic of stress contributes to cancer and medical marijuana plus pray have a long history as healing agents, this should be part of a healthy strategy for some. 

IBOGAINE

This mission requires all hands on deck.  Ibogaine breaks drug addictions quickly by introducing a person to their soul, the foundation of who they are.  Though much more complicated than that, that’s how the addiction is broken.

Ibogaine has other healing effects which is why it must be incorporated in this conversation of what can we do and how can we do it to achieve the goal of the healing of humanity.  Religious and recreational marijuana / cannabis also have mind relaxing benefits, resembling the old saying ‘relax the animal so your spirit can soar.’ Of course we can 3D print marijuana cakes in various religious and celebratory configurations. Oh the possibilities.


Speaking of possibilities, Dana Beal is working to open an Ibogaine clinic in Afghanistan so donate if you can.

Save women and children from the scourge of heroin. 1.6 million addicts. Contribute to Ibogaine for Afghanistan today!



Save women and children from the scourge of heroin. 

MMS, Dr. Joel Wallach's vitamins and minerals, meditation, anything we can do with a proven result of curing cancer...yes Tommy Chong was cured of cancer.  A good source for cannabis CBD oil is Crystal Pure CBD.

3D PRINTED OCEAN WATER DESALINATION PLANTS AND DISTRIBUTION PIPES FROM HEMPCRETE AND HEMP PLASTIC WITH HEMP PAPER AS PART OF THE WATER FILTERS
We need water to grow the hemp plants, and other things too.  In addition to declaring a drought emergency in California and Washington states, we could marshal resources to built water desalination plants out of hempcrete and hemp plastics / woods/ fabrics...  

CROP FINANCED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HEMP SOLUTION

ACTION PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THE HEMP SOLUTION.

Print the entombment for both the reactors and nuclear waste storage.

Print shells on existing structures to reduce indoor radiation.

Use medical marijuana and ibogaine to strengthen body and soul for survival in this, the nuclear age.

Phytoremediate the land with hemp and use hemp printed water desalination plants to clean ocean water for consumption by plants and animals....remember, we're animals too. 

Educate to stimulate new ideas sharpened with truth. Only the truth is true no matter how we look at it. 

Paraphrasing Bernice from TrueTV 'In a conversation based on facts, what you believe does not matter.' Hemp and 3D printing can help fix Fukushima and many other modern problems. That's a fact.

Bottom line, the time to solve our toxic environment mess is now. This first in a series of summits is about fixing the nuclear piece.  

RESEARCH LIBRARY being built i.e. media Time4Hemp, Cannabis Common Sense, High Times, Marijuana Business Media, The Leaf OnLine,  and pages / blog entries on recommended sites / insights and prayers to heal the harm we have done and better stop doing now.

This research is being done with many great souls to be listed shortly. 

Notes are posted click here.

Idea development and implementation continues.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SAFE NUCLEAR ENERGY!
WE'VE ALL BEEN EXPOSED!

‘It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.’ The only thing that should be illegal in nature is to rape her in any form, like GMOs, fracking, drug war…. for example. 

I'll post links to updates as they become available.

We have lots of proof that the hemp solution works, just it's been a lot of work, mostly self financed, to pull together these elements.  Going forward anyway.


Please donate if you can.
