about Clear Choice uk : how it emulates nature (cont)
When humans enhance or accelerate this natural process it is called bioremediation.
One example of when bioremediation was used successfully was during the cleaning effort on the Alaskan coastline after the Exxon Valdez oil spill.0 Scientists used healthy bacteria to biodegrade the oil without having a damaging effect on the eco system.
If they had used toxic chemicals the natural eco system would die and harmful bacteria would survive and grow in a toxic environment replacing the natural eco system and possibly spreading to infect man and wild life.
