Study: Ligands can help absorb lead from soil

May 15, 2019 -

People living in urban areas are at most risk of lead poisoning, given the widespread use of the heavy metal in man-made products and industrial processes. The most common sources of lead exposure include older housing, dust, and soil as these have all been contaminated with lead from old paint, leaded gasoline, and even food and drink exposed to the chemical. Those who garden (or are considering) in an area that can be potentially contaminated by lead should have the soil tested ...

Cover crops help farmers maintain soil health and biodiversity by protecting carbon content

August 08, 2018 -

The practice of crop residue removal involves taking out materials often considered "trash" or agricultural waste from the plot. While the process is common, recent developments have made crop residues a valuable commodity with its many uses. In particular, the ethanol industry uses crop residue as a feedstock for the production of cellulosic ethanol – a second-generation biofuel that has a lesser impact on the food chain compared to edible feedstock biofuel like corn.

An Asian grass can be the key to removing lead from contaminated soil

November 06, 2018 -

Lead, in itself, isn't all bad – it's an element naturally found in soil. However, as the soil is exposed to pollution, the amount of lead increases: From a normal range of 15–40 parts lead per million parts of soil (ppm), or 15–40 milligrams lead per kilogram of soil (mg/kg), it can increase to several thousand ppm. This results in a contamination of the soil, which can present problems in some areas.

In densely populated areas, the main causes of soil lead contamination ...

EPA: Soil in the upper American Fork Canyon contain high levels of arsenic, lead, mercury, and other harmful metals

May 19, 2018 -

The EPA completed its investigation of the soil around the old mines in the upper parts of the canyon in March 2018. They reported that all the samples showed arsenic levels that greatly exceeded the EPA's safe levels.

Lead was also present in high concentrations at the abandoned mines. The worst offenders – and therefore the most dangerous ones for outdoor enthusiasts – were the Yankee and Globe mines. (Related: Is the Grand Canyon being put in danger by nearby uranium ...

This no-till gardening method will help you ‘feed’ your soil

(Homesteading.news) No-till gardening is a natural method of gardening that rejects mechanical means of horticulture, such as compacting, plowing, eroding and degrading the earth using tools and machines, in favor of less aggressive means that encourage soil fertility. Advocates of the no-till method believe that tilling is bad for land in the long-term because ...

Natural pollution solutions: Moss can be used to decontaminate soil and water polluted with heavy metals like lead

January 30, 2018 -

There, scientists have discovered that a moss known as Funaria hygrometrica can tolerate and absorb a very impressive amount of lead from water. Working on the knowledge that this moss grows well in sites experiencing contamination from lead, zinc and copper, the scientists decided to look into its potential value as a phytoremediation-based method of toxin removal.

They prepared solutions containing different concentrations of a total of 25 metals and then exposed them ...

Agro-chemicals destroy soil microbial biodiversity: Amending soil with probiotics found to improve soil quality and biodiversity

July 28, 2018 -

Agricultural practices greatly impact the soil biota – the clearing of land for farmland alone significantly affects the species of organisms in the soil. Coupled with the use of chemicals over the past few decades, this has led to improved land productivity as soil constraints have been overcome. However, this has led to severely negative outcomes for both the environment and soil diversity. One such example is the Haryana in India, where agricultural practices resulted in environmental ...

Ancient soil amendments use agricultural waste to improve soil naturally

February 06, 2019 -

A team of researchers from the Soil and Water Science Department at the University of Florida has conducted a study that showed clear benefits of adding mill ash as well as biochar made from rice hulls to sand soil in Florida. According to the researchers, the addition of certain organic residues to sand soils has always been known to improve soil properties, but a thorough examination of the effects of biochar and mill ash hasn't been performed until now.

U.S. environmental group calls for the avoidance of recycled-content building unless they are proven to be lead-free

June 07, 2018 -

According to reports, there is an alarming issue in the building industry since builders and property owners are allowed to use recycled materials that may contain lead. Founder and President of Healthy Building Network, Bill Walsh, emphasized the possibility that lead-containing building products are also present in schools.

This only means that the law has not caught up with the whole lead-banning matter as no legal restrictions are currently implemented.

Secrets of soil nutrition: Why the minerals in soil determine the success or failure of foods, health and civilization

Natural soil amendments: Wood ash and crushed rock effectively increase nitrogen bioavailability in soil, acting as a non-chemical fertilizer

February 24, 2019 -

The circular economy concept focuses on renewable energy and reuse and natural resources upgrading, which includes recycling of plant nutrients that some industrial byproducts and wastes have, to replace or to be added to mineral fertilizers.

These nutrient sources should give suitable concentrations of plant-available nutrients and minimize or altogether eliminate the use of toxic elements or compounds to soils. In this regard, wood ash is very beneficial, as not only ...

Do soil nutrients impact nutrition? Study of how soil minerals affect nutrients

February 09, 2019 -

Now, a research study looks into identifying the actual effects of specific minerals, namely nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), on the nutrition of planted fava beans. The research, which was conducted as part of a long-term mineral fertilization experiment, aimed to determine the nutrient concentrations as well as the nutrient ratios that are linked with acceptable nutritional status.

According to the study, the long-term mineral fertilization experiment ...
