Organic Clean-Up

Synopsis
The pollution and waste resulting from over 200 years of industrial activity can now be treated by the selective use of microbes. Restaurant waste, acid water from disused mines and oil spills all respond to bacterial treatment. Microbes can even extract toxic metals and radioactive waste from contaminated land.
