Lazerhume, A natural option for Arsenic remediation
Lazerhume, a product developed by DCT, is a revolutionary solution for cleaning up soil contaminated with arsenic. The product contains humic and fulvic acid, which are known to have the ability to bind with heavy metals and remove them from soil. In this article, we will delve into how Lazerhume works to clean up arsenic-contaminated soil and explore the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of humic and fulvic acids in this regard.
Arsenic is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in soil due to various human activities such as mining, smelting, and pesticide use. Exposure to arsenic can cause a range of health problems, including skin lesions, diabetes, and cancer. Traditional methods of soil remediation such as excavation and disposal are expensive and often disruptive. Therefore, there is a growing interest in using natural methods to remove heavy metals from contaminated soil.
Humic and fulvic acids are naturally occurring organic compounds found in soil, peat, and coal. They are known to have the ability to chelate heavy metals, which means they can bind with metals such as arsenic and remove them from soil. Humic acid is a larger molecule than fulvic acid and has a higher molecular weight. Fulvic acid, on the other hand, is a smaller molecule and has a lower molecular weight. Both types of acids are effective in removing heavy metals, but fulvic acid is more mobile in soil and can penetrate deeper into the soil profile.
Lazerhume is a product developed by DCT that contains a high concentration of humic and fulvic acids. The product is applied to contaminated soil as a liquid solution. When Lazerhume comes into contact with soil, the humic and fulvic acids in the solution bind with the arsenic ions in the soil. This binding process creates a complex which is stable and does not allow arsenic to leach into groundwater.
The humic and fulvic acids in Lazerhume also enhance the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms help to break down organic matter in the soil and release nutrients that are essential for plant growth. This process helps to restore the natural balance of the soil and improve its overall health.
Scientific studies have shown that humic and fulvic acids are effective in removing heavy metals from contaminated soil. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Naples in Italy found that humic acid was effective in reducing the bioavailability of arsenic in soil. Another study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis found that fulvic acid was effective in removing lead from soil.
In conclusion, Lazerhume is a revolutionary product that can clean up soil contaminated with arsenic. The product contains humic and fulvic acids, which are known to have the ability to bind with heavy metals and remove them from soil. Lazerhume also enhances the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, which helps to restore the natural balance of the soil and improve its overall health. The scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of humic and fulvic acids in removing heavy metals from soil is strong, making Lazerhume a promising solution for soil remediation.
