Default UGA researchers use transgenic trees to help clean up toxic waste site

Torsten Brinch writes
Well, dumping the soil pollution as mercury vapour to the
atmosphereŽis hardly an option. Only yesterday the US president
announced that mercury emissions to the atmosphere under his
administration's 'clean skies' initiative will need to be decreased by
69 %. So, how do you envision getting EPA to approve a technology
that increases it?


No problem, just leave the ground contaminated.

Your choice, although I doubt the emissions from this sort of scheme
would be significant and probably not in the US anyway.
