It begs further exploration of #bioremediation #EcologicalEconomics as well as cultural trauma healing.

Bioremediation is a green technology that uses living organisms to clean up pollution. Bioremediation can employ fungi, algae, bacteria, and plants to degrade or transform harmful substances, such as oil spills, heavy metals, and radioactive waste. Bioremediation can also produce useful products, such as biofuels, fertilizers, and bioplastics.

Oil rich soil from the Guaymas Basin has provided German scientists understanding of a mechanism by which archaea in the Alkanophaga break down alkane molecules and thus degrade petroleum through oxidation.

Finding ways to break down that plastic, particularly via bioremediation, is an important field of study.
Chinese researchers have been investigating the coastal salt marshes in Jiangsu and have found dozens of bacterial and fungal species deemed a "plastisphere microbiome" capable of plastic breakdown.

Now, University of Pennsylvania scientists have found that extremophiles such as D. palaeochoriense are able to break down the iron in asbestos through anaerobic respiration and reduce its toxicity massively.

One potential avenue is the use of magnetotactic bacteria that can accumulate such materials and be themselves removed via magnets.
Now, scientists have analyzed and shown the ability of M. magneticum to bind uranium via their cell walls.
