Bacteria that can clean up all sorts of nasty stuff is old news. A guy I used to carpool with went to work for a company called Ecova 18 years ago to become a "bug trainer". Basically, they go to the site of any environmental mess, and they would dig up soil from the area. In all likelyhood, there would be a bacteria eating the nasty stuff, and they would take the sample back to the lab, isolate the desired bacteria, multiply it, and release it back at the site of the mess.
The key is to stop the infiltration of the contaminant, and prevent what is there from entering groundwater. Sometimes the soil has to be piled up on an impervious surface (pavement or a plastic barrier) before it can be treated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
