Researchers have found that certain extremophilic bacteria can reduce asbestos toxicity by removing iron, silicon, and magnesium from asbestos minerals. Further analysis is required to optimize treatment methods for detoxification and potential reuse. Asbestos materials were once widely used in homes, buildings, automobile brakes, and many other built materials due to their strength and resistance … Continue reading Marine Bacteria Turn Up the Heat on Asbestos Detoxification
