Description

Where our ideas come from: dioxin in our daily life

Dioxins are a group of toxic compounds, also are persistent environmental pollutants (POPs). Exposed in dioxin can lead to serious health damage, such as disrupting immune system, interfering with hormones, and causing cancer.

Dioxin as a world problem: Vietnam War

During Vietnam War, the herbicide, Agent Orange was used by the U.S. military as a defoliant. Agent Orange contains TCDD, which is the most toxic of the dioxins. The use of Agent Orange has left serious and long-term health impacts upon the Vietnamese people and their offspring.

The main problem: dioxin contaminated soil

To find out possible resolution to clear dioxin in large size of land, we looked into another case of dioxin contamination, China Petrochemical Development Corporation (CPDC) An-Shun site, located in Tainan City, Taiwan.

Our method: Engineered Endophyte-Assisted Phytoremediation

In former research, an endophyte, Burkholderia cenocepacia 869T2, has been isolated from the plant, Vetiver, in the contaminated land in Tainan, and proved having the ability to break down TCDD.

Future vision: eco-friendly and cost-efficient

From burning waste to Agent Orange,
