mahogany 137
make wood from illegal logging sites toxic and detectable | |
Many of the world's irreplaceable rain forests are being
decimated by illegal logging, much of the resulting wood
ending up as boardroom tables and church pews made from
mahogany and other hard woods.
The idea is to crop spray protected areas of tropical forest
with a radioactive compound
such as cesium-137, in a
sufficiently potent amount that it is absorbed and taken up by
the root systems and into the fabric of the trees, but does
less damage to the environment, than human interventions
such as logging. (See environmental impact studies to the
environment surrounding Chernobyl in link.)
Trees which contained cesium-137 could be easily detected,
and there would be no effective way of removing it, or
disguising it.
Bad science ? perhaps - I'm sure you will soon tell me.

Could it be that human invasion has a greater impact on the environment than the most catastrophic nuclear accident in the 20th century? [xenzag, Apr 22 2006]

I like it, as long as we don't get any problems from Sparrow-137, Parrot-137 or Gigantic City Crushing Mutant Ant-137. |

Rad man.
Would this effect dinsidious and contaminiferous trees the same? |
