Phytoremediation
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The more contaminated man makes his planet, the more frantically he seeks ways to reverse the damage. Historically, toxic soil has been unearthed and redistributed into landfills; tainted sediment has continued to spill into bodies of water, kill the fish and sicken all who eat it; and polluted groundwater has all too often leeched its way into drinking supplies. In short, no method to liberate heavy-metal contamination has proven effective for eradicating its presence - until the discovery of phytoremediation, the process by which green plants are used to break down and/or absorb toxic substances in air, soil, sediment, sludge and groundwater. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Pittsburgh’s Environmental Trials
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing environmental abuses and concerns in Pittsburgh in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, using three chapters of “Environmental History of Pittsburgh and Its Region.” The chapters discussed here provide valuable information on the course of events surrounding the decades-long controversies concerning Pittsburgh’s environment, but they overstep bounds in seeking to blame any of the causes we know of today. The results are the same, but seeking to point fingers rather than encouraging individuals to work for a common good is counterproductive and obscures lessons from the past that could be useful today. Bibliography lists 1 source.
