Sunflowers To Clean Up Radioactive Soil at Deborah Vann blog

Sunflowers To Clean Up Radioactive Soil. Sunflowers have the ability to soak up exceedingly large amounts of toxic elements in their tissues, like 137 cs and 90 sr, which were found in the radioactively contaminated sites (soil and ponds) around the power plant. In 1994, a multinational effort successfully employed sunflowers to clean up both 137 cs and strontium 90 sr out of the. In a process called phytoremediation, hyperaccumulating plants are used to clean up environmental contamination. In addition to breeding sunflowers that capture uranium, scientists have used the brake fern to clean up arsenic in appalachian forests. Catie kitrinos is studying how different types of sunflowers absorb heavy metals. In this very informative post from preparedness writer james ryan, we find out how the humble sunflower removes radiation from contaminated soil, and how it is helping communities to clean. Scientists have discovered that sunflowers can pull radioactive contaminants out of the soil. The “sunflower fix” comes at a time of renewed interest in phytoremediation:
