There have been several recent innovations in solar technology that has have brought everyone to the brink of affordable solar power. Now flexible film solar can be built into most things, including awnings and bikinis. New advances by an American company has made the prints of solar cells onto a substrate at super fast rates.

Another solar product on the horizon is solar paint, Swansea Solar Paint project at Swansea University in Wales by Dave Worsley and his team who have looked into ways of getting energy from the sun. Soon you will be able to purchase solar paint from your local hardware store.

The next step to getting solar everywhere is advances in storage technology, and then cheap solar power electricity will be for us all.

Contamination of soil is very common at landfill sites and toxicity by various metals is the most persistent. The leachate that is found in the ground water and the surrounding water has found to be very toxic.

The common metals found to cause these problems are, copper, lead, nickel, zinc and cadmium.

The above metals and a few more have found to be in the tissue of some animals and humans which causes liver problems and brain dysfunctions.
