Combating arsenic in the soil using zeolite – Nikos Lygeros
There are two main categories of arsenic: organic and inorganic. The latter is more toxic than the former. It is a compound of oxygen, chlorine or sulphur.

zeolite can be added to animal feed in powder form, at a rate of 2 per cent of their feed ration. It cleanses their digestive system of heavy metals, free radicals and toxins. Using 2–3 kilograms of zeolite per square metre on the floor of stables or other areas where animals are kept, it significantly reduces odours by absorbing and neutralising ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.
