ANSWER: 28 Jun 2005 Dear Nathan, Thank you for your enquiry and interest in our work. To answer your question on the use of plants in removing the lead in soil, our website www.lead.org.au has some articles and factsheets that might be able to help you. See www.lead.org.au/fs/fst6.html and www.lead.org.au/lanv6n3/lan6n3-10.html. I have also attached some extra information which addresses these issues. However, I would advise you to also consider the disposal of these plants after they've done their job. We hope you will find a way to prevent creating a greater volume of waste than the soil itself. Hope this information helps. Regards, Elisa Idris Volunteer Information Officer, on behalf of Elizabeth O'Brien |
