RXleaf- Hemp Cleans Up Radioactive Soil

It's great that RX leaf highlights the value of using Hemp to clean up Radioactive Soil in their Article

Many people get this. But don't realize: 
1) what is the next step? What's a person do with a bunch of toxic plants? 
2) what about the places in the soil that the hemp roots don't come in contact with the toxins? Meaning the toxins are still there. 
3) 99% of any science papers all say: phytoremediation takes a long time. Who wants to wait, when the toxins need removed asap? 
4) shouldn't all birds, animals, and humans be kept away from toxic Hemp plants? Fences don't stop birds, animals, or people. 
5) lots of plants can be used for phytoremediation (400 that I'm aware of). Is it better to have a huge plant to dispose of with X amount of toxins or a smaller plant with the same X amount of toxins? ....





I agree Hemp is great, and is even greater when used in combination with the system our team has figured out that both speeds up the toxic removal and also disposes it safely eliminating all the hazards that so many don't realize.

It's not rocket science, it's phyto science. And the #ElectroHemp system also turns the hazardous waste infected plants into cash!

Phytoremediation Info via SciTech Connect

 An emerging technology for cleaning contaminated soils and shallow groundwater is phytoremediation, an environmentally friendly, low- cost, and low-tech process. 
Phytoremediation encompasses all plant- influenced biological, chemical, and physical processes that aid in the uptake, degradation, and metabolism of contaminants by either plants or free-living organisms in the plant`s rhizosphere. 
A phytoremediation system can be viewed as a biological, solar-driven, pump-and-treat system with an extensive, self-extending uptake network (the root system) that enhances the soil and below-ground ecosystem for subsequent productive use.

Using Phytoremediation to Clean Up Contamination at Military Installations

During and following World War II, wastes from the production of munitions and other military materials were disposed of using the best available practices acceptable at that time. However, these disposal methods often contaminated soil and groundwater with organic compounds and metals that require cleanup under current regulations. An emerging technology for cleaning contaminated soils and shallow groundwater is phytoremediation, an environmentally friendly, low- cost, and low-tech process. Phytoremediation encompasses all plant- influenced biological, chemical, and physical processes that aid in the uptake, degradation, and metabolism of contaminants by either plants or free-living organisms in the plant`s rhizosphere. A phytoremediation system can be viewed as a biological, solar-driven, pump-and-treat system with an extensive, self-extending uptake network (the root system) that enhances the soil and below-ground ecosystem for subsequent productive use. Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has been conducting basic and applied research in phytoremediation since 1990. Initial greenhouse studies evaluated salt-tolerant wetland plants to clean UP and reduce the volume of salty `produced water` from petroleum wells. Results of these studies were used to design a bioreactor for processing produced water that is being demonstrated at a natural gas well in Oklahoma; this system can reduce produced water volume by about 75% in less than eight days, representing substantial savings in waste disposal cost. During 1994, ANL conducted a TNT plant uptake and in situ remediation study in a ridge-and-furrow area used for the disposal of pink water at the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant.

4.5 Regulatory Acceptance Current State Regulators are generally looking for a scientifically defensible basis for performance expectations. Results of bench-scale or greenhouse tests using site-specific soils are compelling evidence for predicting performance. It is also important to be realistic about the amount of time required for cleanup, acknowledging where phytoremediation is being used as a long-term remediation approach. For long-term remediation, the cost-effectiveness of the approach may be a factor. In addition, it will be important to show the controls in place to protect both ecological and human receptors. The fate of the contaminants (e.g., mercury and the volatilization processes) should also be predicted. Regulators will be looking for contingency plans in case of failure of the proposed phytoremediation technology and the willingness of the end user to implement that alternate technology. It was suggested that we confirm predicted performance by conducting one to two year field studies. Such studies should be prepared to implement contingency remedies if field performance is inadequate to achieve cleanup goals in a reasonable timeframe. The potential for adverse impacts to ecological receptors should be addressed by B-12 conducting a screening risk assessment and by comparing predicted exposures to reference values in the literature. Gaps • Regulatory acceptance of phytoremediation technologies is a critical gap. • Meeting risk-based limits may require measures to limit exposure in addition to removing contamination. • It is not known whether the timeline for deployment of a phytoremediation technology matches DOE’s regulatory requirements for cleanup.

Lessoning Agriculture Field Water Runnoff Pollution

 Agriculture contaminants is one of the 3 pollution sources quoted in EWG's Tap Water Database: Pollution Sources and is one reason ElectroHemp has been sharing ways farmers can use buffer zones, filter strips with phytoremediation to lesson field pollution runoff scenarios.

Agriculture

Agricultural activities are one of the main sources of water pollution for U.S. rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands and groundwater. Each year, farm operators apply more than 12 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer and 8 million tons of phosphorous fertilizer to cropland, some of which runs off into water sources.


Manure is another important source of water contamination. It’s estimated that livestock produce up to 1 billion tons of manure each year, and runoff from farms and feedlots can be laden with sediments and disease-causing microorganisms. And many pesticides have no federally mandated limits for drinking water, which means utilities and their customers have no benchmark to know if the amount of a specific pesticide in water is safe.



Many water utilities in farm country are forced to treat water supplies to remove agriculture-related pollutants, often relying on expensive processes such as carbon treatment and ion exchange. Despite utilities' efforts, agricultural contaminants are detected in the drinking water served to millions of Americans each year.

Argonne scientist Cristina Negri talks about phytoremediation

EPA Scientist Ms Cristina Negri shares information about #‎Phytoremediation‬ which is using plants to cleanup mankind's pollution. Although this video is talking about Trees. There are other plants that can do the same thing that don't have to wait for a tree to grow-such as a fast growing ‪#‎IndustrialHemp‬.
One advantage a tree does have is the roots will go deeper than the roots of a Hemp plant that go 6 feet deep.
In a nutshell different plants cycle the toxins differently. I feel it is best to utilize a few types of plants to accomplish the cleanup activities needed. One of the discoveries the ‪#‎ElectroHemp‬ BioRad Phytotechnology advancements the Team ( David WechslerKimberly Kowalski, and myself) have discovered is that by growing plants in a Greenhouse will enable a wider variety of plant species to be grown "All Year Long" in addition to eliminating the chance of the toxic plant material from entering the food chain, being eaten by an animal, and inadvertent human contact.
The ElectioHemp BioRad Hazardouse Waste digesters and disposal system (see other posts) is how the plant material is disposed and turned into NON TOXIC plant matter that does not require long term storage of the hazardous materials.
If you have any questions or comments about the system and process let us know and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Hemp cleans PFAS in water and soil


When Science isn't Science in the Eyes of the EPA.  

Michigan PFAS Action Response Team https://www.michigan.gov/pfasresponse/faq/categories/pfas-in-fish-and-wildlife
The Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART), is a unique, multi-agency proactive approach for coordinating state resources to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. Agencies responsible for environmental protection, public health, natural resources, agriculture, military installations, commercial airports, and fire departments work together to ensure the most efficient and effective response. 



Too bad the EPA Scientist weren't interested in Solving the Pollution that is contaminating this earth.  The Warning: Don't Eat the Fish or Deer in Michigan would not be dangerous to consume.
What I experienced first hand when trying to work with SBIR / EPA was that Scientific Research and Science Studies from outside the USA was frowned upon and not generally accepted.  
Does the EPA and American Scientist think they are the only ones who can perform science experiments or develope scientific discoveries?  I see a major disconnect and a possible reason why the pollution from the Major Corporations and Big Business continues to pollute the Earth.
Researcher Dr Brett Turner from Newcastle University and his team have developed a natural and effective solution for removing toxic PFAS chemicals from groundwater. 



If they did realize and possibly consider Scientific Remediation Discoveries Such as what Brent Turner of New Castle University has figured out to remove PFAS from water and soil then just maybe issues such as Don't Eat the Fish or Deer would be solved.  
The following link to another blog post shares the discovery that Bret Turner has figured the PFAS from clean water and soil

Guest Scotty, from St. Louis - Electro-Phytoremediation Process 8-22-2016


Updated information after phone conversation with person planning phytoremediation project to use hemp to phytoextract toxins from soil.

Is this the video you mentioned? https://youtu.be/pVVWcd9bXrA  the video below explains why not everyone should be able to do this UNTIL the system is proven safe.

   I am not afraid of exposing corruption and shortsightedness everywhere I find it.  

I'll be doing another radio interview this coming week sometime about the electrohemp system.

Lonnie Simpson is interviewer. She's anti nuke, understands plight of downwinders being exposed to contamination and all the health issues.

She mentioned the latest stuff I've pieced together that is wanted by Dept of Defense in re to uranium is dangerous for my safety. I'm not worried or scared and I'm going to share this to the world. (In addition to I have found a buyer in the health industry for the decontaminated material)

If you researched EPA suggestions you'd realize they have a goal of turning toxins into cash to offset remediation costs.  My end disposal options do this in 2 or more ways. Instead of the costly glass infusion you mentioned.
https://www.epa.gov/risk/calculating-preliminary-remediation-goals-prgs


FYI: Paul with Fungi Perfecti informed me: mushrooms will decontaminate nuke rads, but mushrooms still need to be picked up and disposed of [or else the contamination will be reintroduced back into the environment].

Here's the info I shared with the World Wide Hemp group I'm a part of.


 https://facebook.com/HempEnvironmentalForum/?

Lonnie also clued me in on the grant writer who won't consider the organic remediation disposal vs nuke ind suggestions.


It should be pretty interesting interview. She's hip to the nuke ind tactics / shortsighted activist etc.


Fyi: i am not going to mention your name or location but I am going to expose what I feel is shortsighted science because you won't or haven't researched a true solution on this issue.


I'll send more info when we hash out an interview time and where to view it.

Peace,
Scotty

Kentucky quickly submits its hemp oversight plan to USDA

By BRUCE SCHREINER, December 20, 2018


In 2018, Kentucky farmers planted more than 6,700 acres (2,710 hectares) of hemp — more than twice last year’s production, according to the state’s agriculture department. More than 70 Kentucky processors are turning the plant into products. Those processors paid $7.5 million to Kentucky growers in 2017 to help supply hemp and reported $16.7 million in gross product sales, the state agriculture department said.


That’s barely a blip on the radar for Kentucky’s diversified agriculture sector.


But the state’s agriculture department received more than 1,000 applications from farmers and processors looking to participate in the 2019 hemp program. In another sign of hemp’s growing popularity, an informational and networking session in October in Elizabethtown drew about 750 farmers, processors, manufacturers and others interested in hemp, the department said.

I mentioned this situation in the ElectroHemp proposal I submitted to MoDNR and EPA Region 7 while attending the Bidgeton Landfill Community Meeting where I took this popular Google Local Guide photo .

Just recently the Missouri Department of Natural Resources released a document that showed the nuclear contamination traveled from the landfill in the rain storms of 2016.

The Nuclear Waste Contaminants are spreading into the community: 

"Stormwater from just outside the fence line of the West Lake Landfill complex, the dumping ground for Manhattan Project-era radioactive waste, contains a variety of radioactive isotopes, according to test results released late last month by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
The sampling of stormwater overflow, conducted on April 30 as heavy rains pounded the region, found levels of alpha particle activity that exceed the threshold allowed for drinking water. Uranium, radium and gross beta readings all registered within acceptable limits for drinking water, which the department used as a comparative baseline because of its stringent standards.

Dawn Chapman shared the MODNR latest fings as well:

**Important** Radioactive Alpha particles found by the State of MO DNR in Storm Water from this past Spring above safe levels (MCL's)
Storm Water runoff was tested on April 30, 2017 for radioactive particles by the State of MO and the results released confirm that they were found. Levels of gross Alpha particles were above MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level). Now, ONLY after the results came back above MCL, they are going to test for Thorium isotopes. While we are glad the State of MO stepped in to test, it is upsetting that Thorium is still being ignored. For those who are new to this situation, this waste has sat on the surface of the landfill for almost 44 years....so you can only imagine what 43+ years of storm water runoff looks like and where it has all gone. To add insult to injury....EPA CONTINUES to say no rad. waste has left this site! The State of MO's test results do NOT support this conclusion!

"Results for gross alpha exceeded MCLs, and could not be fully attributed to Radium and Uranium results, therefore analysis for isotopic Thorium was ordered. Those results will
be posted when available. All data has been shared with EPA."

A Natural Solution to the Pollution in the World

 I encourage everyone: if you don't think the creator has provided solutions to our problems, you might try getting out of the box and explore other avenues and thought patterns.

i can't stop them from spraying us with their chem trail geoengineering systems, but I can clean it out of the soil and water, in addition to other forms of pollution and toxins.  its pretty remarkable that the smallest organisms on the planet will take down the baddest and most harmful substances.  its not a coincidence that so many microbiologist have wound up dead in the prior 10 years.   i'm just a carpenter from missouri who asked God to lead me to a way to help my neighbors who have been exposed to the leftover nuclear contamination from the Atom Bomb creation. And thats how i figured out https://www.thepollutionsolution.org/  by reading hundreds of actual science papers where i figured out how to clean up pollution with what mother nature has provided.

Toxic Contamination and Remediation

The design and process of the ElectroHemp BioRad Toxic Contamination and Remediation system performs the steps addressed in this Phytoremediation Science Paper without having to Genetically Alter anything. 

Accomplishing 3 of the 4 needed steps mentioned below.

Figure 4. Several factors would accelerate phytoremediation technology. The prime being: genetic engineering and production of transgenics having tolerance and metal accumulation ability for use in phytoremediation, facilitating the factors that would influence the metal bioaccumulation coefficient which inturn will depends upon heavy metal availability in the soil, absorption, transport and sequestration etc, and development of low cost technologies for chelate-induced hyperaccumulation.

ElectroHemp BioRad Disposal will work for Lead too!

In this science paper shares information about Water Lettuce grown in contaminated water in Labratory Conditions in which the Scientist determined:
The overall metal uptake in plant system was higher under EAPR system than one compared with phytoremediation process.
EARP Electrokinetics Assisted Removal Process
Electrokinetics water lettuce phytoremediation science lab project.

Abstract: The combination used electro-assisted system and hydroponic phytoremediation which is hereinafter referred as hydroponic EAPR system for rapid removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+ from contaminated water which has been demonstrated in a laboratory-scale experiment. A hydroponic setting was used to evaluate the potential rapid removal and uptake of lead and copper concentration by water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes Linn.). The effectiveness of two-dimensional (2D) of cathode-pot electrode was introduced in this study. The results obtained from hydroponic EAPR system were compared with the plants exposed in the contaminated lead and copper water by using phytoremediation for 7 d process. The results showed that the accumulation of lead and copper were high in the plant roots. Analysis of chlorophyll content in treated plant with high lead concentration for EAPR system has showed that water lettuce could cope with lead and copper stress. The overall metal uptake in plant system was higher under EAPR system than one compared with phytoremediation process.
