Toxic contamination of soil, water, air, plants, animals and humans is on my mind lately, as a result of Japan's earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant crisis.
One path to detoxification is "bioremediation" - the application of biological processes to sequester or break down contaminants, either on- or off-site.
