Analysis of the mineral content revealed the major constituents to be sodium sulphate and sodium chloride.

The "treatments" involved herbal preparations which were proved to contain high amounts of sodium sulphate which is poisonous in large doses.

A by-product was transformed into sodium sulphate (Glauber's salt) for use as a purgative.

The other contained a similar amount of sodium sulphate, which the authorities said could have loosed a toxic cloud had it exploded.

The aquatic plants are not observed in the lake because of the amount of sodium sulphate and chlorine content .

Would the sodium sulphate be soluble?

It is one of few places in the world where naturally deposited sodium sulphate exists in commercially exploitable quantities.

Different salts also vary significantly in their efficacy as weathering agents, and several laboratory investigations have indicated the particular effectiveness of sodium sulphate.

The producation of sodium sulphate is a major economic industry combined with grain and livestock agriculture.

'It offers them an environmentally responsible means of handling sodium sulphate while providing overall economic benefits,' said product development manager Sarah Galbraith.
