Sunday's Chicago Sun-Times has an interesting story about research at Lake
Calumet. Click on www.chicagosuntimes.com
Check out the story "Pitting nature vs. pollution."
They are trying to find out what plants absorb or modify existing pollution.
What I'd like to know is what happens to the plants that have absorbed the
pollutants?
If they die and fall down, they will be recycled and the pollutants go back
into the ecosystem.
