Despite extensive regulation, the chemical by- products of industrial firms continue to pollute the
environment, whether by intentional release into the air and water or by accidental escape from toxic dump
sites. Too costly to prevent entirely, such pollution can be controlled naturally. Scientists have found that
bacteria, fungi, and similar primitive microbes with a taste for chemicals are readily found in contaminated
areas. These tiniest of creatures are capable of adapting to a poisonous environment by developing the
metabolism to convert toxics into food or by producing enzymes which can break down the chemicals. The
tricky part is to find a way to make the microorganisms populous and hungry at the same time.
Bioremediation is appealing to industrial companies because it is both simple and cost effective. It is
cheaper than incinerating the chemicals, the only other way to eliminate them completely, and does not
produce the toxic ash that burning does. Although it works best on organic compounds such as gasoline or
pesticides, bioremediation will probably work on highly resistant as scientists engineer more powerful bugs.
