Extending this work, the space agency helped to pioneer a low-cost, environmentally friendly wastewater treatment method now used by a number of communities. Constructed wetlands use aquatic plants to remove pollutants from wastewater. The technique is cheaper than traditional sewage treatment plants and can also regenerate ecologically valuable wetland environments. </p> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-nasa-description field--type-text-with-summary field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">NASA Description</div> <div class="field__item"><p>In the 1970s, NASA funded an environmental researcher’s studies on plants’ ability to clean the air and water around them. After becoming the head of a NASA environmental research laboratory, the scientist led a successful effort to create a wetland system to treat wastewater. There, vascular aquatic plants remove organic compounds and heavy metals from wastewater. Communities around the country have adopted variations on this technique.</p> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-us-state field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">US State</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/23" hreflang="en">Louisiana</a></div> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-description field--type-text-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Description</div> <div class="field__item"><p> <style type="text/css"> <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> /*--><!]]>*/ </style> Learn more about how NASA helped develop technology that impacts environmentally safe sewage treatment within your home's bathroom environment!</p> </div> </div> Fri, 23 Mar 2018 19:00:42 +0000 admin 196 at https://nasaaws.missionmedia.net
