Zeolite was unknown to me until this accident. It was used to clean up Chernobyl as it absorbs 95% of the radioactive isotopes once it is dispersed. Then the material is then baked into a ceramic brick which is much less dangerous to the environment. Why are they waiting?
It has been used to remove ammonia from the air in the chicken raising industry, removes toxins from the soil, filters swimming pools of green design and is used to clean drinking water. Aquariums both salt and fresh water types benefit from zeolite. Mostly it is used in detergent.
I find myself asking with this material used in so many industries, asphalt, cement, water filtration, agribusiness, used in nuclear clean up, why has it not been introduced to the area around the nuclear disaster to help workers there, to protect the population in Japan and contain radiation globally?
The US supplies only 1% of the global use. The deposits are here, but not the interest.
This is a page I found of particular interest relating to the Fukushima situation. You can check out the HOME page from there.

If you plan to personally use a zeolite product be sure to research all the information.
