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).

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.
