CC - Essential Components of a Bioremediation Solution
Session Overview
The Session Overview below is provided as a courtesy to those who prefer to read than listen, yet on each call additional insights are given which round out the subject.
The Situation at Hand – Dispersant Chemicals
1. The biggest problem we now face in the Gulf of Mexico is not the presence of oil, but the presence of dispersant chemicals.
2. Dispersant chemicals have already killed far more birds and marine life than the oil ever would have done.
3. Dispersant chemicals are responsible for causing the dead zone from the Amoco Cadiz Oil spill of 1978 which remains a dead zone to this day. Untreated regions of the same spill were mostly oil free within 5 years due mainly to the workings of Mother Nature alone.
4. Dispersant chemicals are threatening the lives of every person living in the 6 states positioned in close proximity to the coast – Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, and possibly many others across America and Mexico.
5. Click here http://www.vitalityherbsandclay.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=530 to read about the disastrous health effects from breathing COREXIT EC9527A oil dispersant fumes, (taken directly from the Manufacturer’s Safety & Data Sheet/MSDS provided by its maker, Nalco Company).
6. At this moment, the safest thing anyone can do is evacuate the region and begin an intensive detox and rebuilding program: You will have to listen to this call for my best recommendations regarding this program. More on this subject in the future, or call us for details.
Essential Components of an Effective Bioremediation Solution for the Environment at Large
Areas for remediation of pollution include:
1. the home (use of chemicals, burnt oil, farm and garden fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, plastics, “energy saving” mercury vapor fluorescent light bulbs, etc.).
2. the local community (lakes, streams, disposal sites, corporate pollution, waste water treatment, etc.).
3. and the world at large (air, oceans, forests, etc.)
Since the big corporations and governments of the world are slow to implement sound environmental solutions, it is now up to us – the people of the earth – to simply go out there and do it ourselves.
What will you need to restore our earth back to its pristine condition? The answer may surprise you. Many of the resources you will need can be found in your own back yard.
This is because Nature’s bioremediation methods are most often accomplished with earthen microbes, botanicals, and soil or clay.
What will an effective solution be able to accomplish?
An effective bioremediation solution:
1. Will neutralize the toxic chemicals that endanger the microbial and marine life (which would otherwise effectively eat up oil and other biological pollutants).
Three best remedies for this purpose:
a. a dispersing clay (falls apart in water),
b. humic acids,
c. some microbes are able to consume even toxic chemicals and others will eventually morph into an effective consumer of the toxin. The human can speed this process.
2. Will contain food sources for the indigenous microbes present everywhere throughout the environment.
Pollution stimulates Nature to morph a particular strain of microbes into a version that will consume that unique form of pollution.
Microbial food sources will stimulate massive reproduction of microbes in excess of 100,000 fold.
a. Best food sources for microbes include, non-chemical fertilizers (as have been used most often in past oil spills), but herbal and mineral resources also drawn from the earth.
b. Another source of food for the microbes are the decaying bodies of the animals and marine life killed by the pollution itself.
c. So when an animal dies in a polluted environment, it gives its body to the service of feeding, and therefore multiplying pollution-clearing microbes.
3. Will hold food sources and oil eating microbes together in direct contact with the oil or pollution, where they can do the most good.
4. Will improve, rather than deplete, the oxygen levels of the water or soil so as to give life to the indigenous species (nitrogen fertilizers feed algae which uses up oxygen).
a. Clays high in electrolytes increase oxygen presence in a water supply.
5. Will supplement the microbial environment with a seed stock of a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi and archaea. The food source, the unique form of pollution and the local environment itself, will determine which strains will naturally dominate to handle the pollution.
6. Where oils are involved in the pollution, naturally occurring surfactants (dispersants) will help to prepare the oil to be digested by microbes. Natural dispersants include:
a. Citrus extracts (like Orange TKO, Simple Green)
1) Although concentrated citrus can be harmful to microbes.
b. Natural dishwashing and other liquid soaps, (like Miracle II, BioKleen).
c. Lecithin.
d. More often than not, bioremediation solutions on the market are merely using surfactants (like laundry soap or citrus cleaners) or enzymes.
e. Microbes themselves, even though they are the most effective approach, are seldom utilized primarily due to the difficulty of obtaining, cultivating and storing them.
7. Will remediate chemical toxins, biological waste, and oil pollution at the same time whether:
a. on the surface of the water or land,
b. at the deeper soil and mid body water levels where the pollution has descended into,
c. on the bottom of the ocean, lake, stream or underground aquifer (wells) to deal with pollution there.
8. Will be harmless to marine and animal life – will even stimulate their natural reproductive ability to assist in the remediation process.
Is there a way to address all of the above effectively and repopulate the marine life at the same time?
Here is a photo of three experimental solutions containing burnt car oil and a simple combination of whole earthen nutrient sources with naturally occurring microbes.
The first jar contains only water and 4 tablespoons of burnt car oil.
The middle jar contains water, 4 tablespoons of burnt car oil and our bioremediation solution shaken up together.
The third jar shows the same components only 24 hours later upon settling. Notice the tan band near the top. This is evidence of digested oil.
The thin black ring on top of what remains of the oil will also be consumed, usually within 7 days, as the microbes multiply from eating the food sources supplied in the bioremediation solution.
The next email, later this week, will include instructions for use, best applications, and finished product ready for production.
Stay tuned, it is the people of the earth whose job it is to take the lead on cleaning up our beloved planet. All we have to do is utilize Nature’s own resources in a wise fashion to get the job done quickly and easily!
