Martin,
You best bet is looking for information on remediation issues....eg
bioremediation of contaminated soils, water or air (Exxon Valdez disaster
is an excellant example......wastewater treatment is what I am interested
in....this might be an area to look into also. There are plenty of good
resources out there if you look that will tell you all you need to know.
(sorry I have this thing about doing other peoples work for them.....so I
hope these leads is will be enough to get you going)
