Here’s one option that those involved in containing the oil spill in Guimaras can consider – use tree barks.


Regarded as wastes  in industrial and tree plantations,  tree barks can be used to clean polluted water, according to the Los Baños-based Forest Products Research  and Development Institute  (FPRDI).

                    [Summary] => Don’t look now, but tree barks, which are considered wastes, can be used to clean water polluted with toxic metals, especially lead.


Chemist Jennifer P. Tamayo of the Los Baños-based DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI) found this after studying the potentials of the barks of eight tree species to trap ions (atomic particles) of lead and chromium present in the wastewater of a steel galvanizing plant. (Lead causes kidney and liver cancer while chromium causes biological mutations.)

                    [Summary] => The country can save some $8 million a year by using tree barks in purifying water polluted by toxic wastes, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said yesterday.


According to chemist Jennifer Tamayo, of the DOST’s Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI) in Los Baños, Laguna, she found out that tree barks could trap ions of lead and chromium present in the wastewater of steel galvanizing plants.


Lead and chromium pose health hazards because they cause biological mutation and kidney and liver cancer, respectively.

This was the preliminary finding of researchers of the Los Baños-based Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products and Development Institute (FPRDI). 


The laboratory-scale study was the first to be conducted at FPRDI on the barks of local tree species for such application, researcher Jennifer Tamayo reported.
