| In tackling lead pollution, fungi may be our friends Posted: 12 Jan 2012 10:43 AM PST Fungi may be unexpected allies in our efforts to keep hazardous lead under control.

It also suggests that the introduction or encouragement of fungi may be a useful treatment strategy for lead-polluted sites. |
