Reducing toxic hazardous waste
can be done through bioremediation. An example is composting. Composting is the
use of microorganisms in the presence of oxygen to degrade the toxic wastes
present in the soil. It may be placed in a container with holes on it and can
be rotated to allow oxygen to interact with the microorganisms and degrade the
wastes. Superfund is a program from EPA (Environmental Protection
Agency) that helps in cleaning some of the US’s most contaminated land and
responding to environmental emergencies, oil spills and natural disasters. One
of its targets this coming June 8 is the Portland Harbor.
