Phyto - Remediation Potential of Coco Choir Dust Charred On Selected Heavy Metal Contaminated Water Assessed Through Brine Shrimp Bioassay

This document summarizes a study that assessed the phyto-remediation potential of coco choir dust charred on selected heavy metal contaminated water. Specifically: - The study tested the ability of charcoal to control or reduce levels of copper and lead in water, by adding varying concentrations of the heavy metals to water and then adding charcoal. - Using a brine shrimp bioassay, the researchers found that applying charcoal to copper and lead contaminated water was able to eliminate and absorb the heavy metals up to 90%. - The researchers recommend using charcoal to eliminate copper and lead for economic purposes, as the Philippines produces charcoal that could be used commercially for this purpose.
