Mining activity is contagious. The holes that open up in search of ore and the accumulation of lands and rocks extracted from them, as well as the techniques of cleaning and purification of the mineral itself, produce extraordinary pollution. Of all kinds (aquatic, aerial, landscape...) and of direct influence in both plants and animals.

In the territories that have undergone the mining work of these animals for many years, finding a cumulative chemical residue is not a hindrance. One or two ... I didn't miss it.

The symbol “I” in chemistry is nickel. It is said that it is nickel which, together with iron, is the heart of our planet. It's used a lot, especially to make stainless steel. The Asian continent is the richest in nickel and the pollution of its exploitation is also the most abundant, especially in the islands of the south-east.

One of these islands is the Taman Negara Kinabalu Natural Park (in Borneo, part of Malaysia). There is Mount Lompoyou. On his hillside lives the strange shrub Phyllanthus rufuschaneyi. Weird because of its rarity and because of its work: it's a miner. It wants special, ultra-basic or very basic soils, totally antacids. They tend to exploit and stack nickel massively from the ground. We don't know any other plants that do this kind of work. Nickel can be higher than 12% of the plant weight. There is nothing more capable of living like this. It's terrible!

It's incredibly rare, it lives just a few, and it's making a huge effort to maintain its genetics and be in the future. They all hope for a great economic future. Some see it as a miner nickel, they call it phytometing or agro-membraning: because of that ability to stack nickel, they plant on grounds contaminated with this metal, they sweat the plant and they get nickel citrate. Get clean nickel and clean contaminated soils. Both uses, mining and pollution purifier, represent a promising future for a ground floor. Because the one who has a plant and uses it will have a coconut full of coins.

We also have nickel in coins; the euro’s central disk, for example, is nickel. For you to know, nickel, if it's anything, is totally toxic and carcinogenic. Beware of the euro!
