Perlite is a commonly used building insulation material in the construction industry and is often used in external wall insulation. Perlite has strong water absorption and is easy to seep water and gain weight, and the outer layer needs to be a waterproof coating when it is usually used for external wall insulation.

Perlite is widely used in horticulture and agriculture, often used to improve soil structure, increase soil ventilation and water retention, help the growth of flower roots, suitable for plants that like dry and aerated environment, such as cacti, succulents, orchids, etc., not suitable for plants that like moist environment, such as aloe vera, bromeliads, etc.

Metals occur in soils through natural and anthropogenic sources. Metals enter into the human food chain through plant uptake and thus cause human health problems.
