Diseases (IQ reduction, itai-itai, etc.) & Water, Soil contamination by Heavy Metals, use of Isotopes
Christoph Noller - Ecologist and Soil Scientist at University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna
Christoph Noller - Ecologist and Soil Scientist. He is a Ph.D. student at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna. Christoph has worked a lot on contaminated soils with heavy metals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), etc.
Description of the episode:
In this episode, we discuss heavy metals, their influences on the human body, isotopes, soil microorganisms, and the ways of recovering contaminated soils, sources, etc. Christoph also mentions diseases such as Japanese diseases "itai-Itai", Minamata, cancer, etc.
0:00 Intro
0:49 What are heavy metals (HM)?
4:39 Sources of heavy metals (HM)
7:14 The biggest problem of soils being contaminated by HM
8:34 HM: Japanese "Itai-Itai", minamata, cancer and other deseases
10:27 Lead causing IQ reduction in children
12:00 "Everybody can understand what I do..."
13:51 "Children eat a lot of soil... so they also have the biggest problem..."
17:07 Ways of recovering heavy metal contaminations
19:58 Washing & separating soil / Removing clay
21:20 Using plants to remove heavy metals
22:00 Difficulties
24:10 About "Hyperaccumulator plants."
28:37 About stable isotopes, finding human origin country by their teeth, using isotopes for testing champagne quality,
37:39 Heavy metals influence soil microorganisms
39:16 "Soil quality is very subjective ..."
42:26 About building the "Urban garden"
47:00 "I can't think of only a positive future..."
48:13 Advice to my younger self: "Start programming..."
49:25 "I kind of like that life is complex..."
51:00 The meaning of life (explanation with a meme)
