DE deposits are formed when diatom die and fall to the bottom of water. Gradually the organic portions of diatoms weather away. DE was first detected in Germany by Peter Kasten in 1836. He realized the wonderful qualities of DE. Greeks were known to have used diatomaceous earth as a cleanser and polisher and material used in bricks for buildings. For the common people, DE is one of the most useful household chemicals due to its ability to polish, absorb, and filter, and it is a natural insecticide. These stabilizing qualities in DE make it beneficial to numerous industries. Diatomite existed even during the pre-historic times and was used in cave paintings.
There are no specific traditions and customs to celebrate this day. Various people appreciate and value this mineral in different ways. Biologists consider diatoms as single-celled plants that produce more than three-fourths of the oxygen supply on Earth. Materials scientists identify DE as diatom skeletons which are tiny complex porous opal structures. These structures are said to be the most durable substances worldwide.
Ways to observe National Diatomaceous Earth Day are to research the various benefits of DE, try applying this mineral to various household uses, or make your own diatomaceous earth deodorant.
Diatomaceous earth was discovered in 1837.
Diatomaceous means made of diatoms or the siliceous remains of diatoms.
