[Title] => Tree bark can absorb water pollutants — study
[Summary] =>
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).

[Title] => Tree bark can clean polluted water — study
[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.)

[Title] => Tree barks can purify water with toxic wastes
[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.

[Title] => Tree barks can clean industrial waste water
[Summary] => Don’t throw away those waste barks from industrial tree plantations.
These can be used to clean polluted water of toxic metals, especially lead, it was found in a study done by chemist Jennifer P. Tamayo of the Los Baños-based Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI).
Tamayo studied the potential of barks of eight tree species to trap ions of lead and chromium present in the wastewater of a steel galvanizing plant. Chromium causes biological mutations while lead causes kidney and liver cancer.

[Title] => Tree barks good as pollutant absorbers
[Summary] => Tree barks have the potential of absorbing toxic heavy metal ions that cause environmental pollution and health problems.
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.
