sparklystars Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hi, i'm in high school and i'm going to do an original science project in the field of medicine and/or biology that doesn't require me to deal with living organisms. (sorry, it's not that i'm being picky. it's just that i have to deal with so much more paperwork and red tape if i deal with any animals or something possibly dangerous.) Any ideas, suggestions or tips from you would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coquina Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Here's a USGS web page about it - http://water.usgs.gov/wid/html/bioremed.html It's using bacteria to break down toxic waste into non-toxic substances. Biologists, geologists, and environmentalists are all studying ways to do this more effectively. Your state and locality should have some professionals with whom you can talk. If there is a specific hazardous waste in your area, maybe you can expose samples of it to several different kinds of bacteria in a controlled experiment to see if one of them will effectively metabolise it.
