The plastic decomposition from the Waxworm homogenate is due mostly to the microbiome (probiotics) of the waxworm. One key player isolates is the novel bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6, which produces PETase's (plastic degrading enzymes) such as ISF6_4831 protein. Plastic bioremediation is what I intend to study for a PhD so I just happen to have been following this one. Love the show!

Sort of, but you have to consider why these organisms accumulate toxins at all. Heavy metals in particular are worth thinking about, as they can't be broken down. One of the biggest difficulties of being a plant is preventing things eating your leaves, and filling them with toxic chemicals is one of the more effective solutions. Short answer is that they shouldn't get eaten because they are too toxic.

Most of pollution is useful stuff, just not useful enough to offset the cost of concentrating and processing it. Making that part cheaper makes it easier to recycle, reuse or even store more safely. This doesn't apply to pollution exclusively either - e.g. there's huge amounts of gold dissolved in the ocean, but we still mine it mostly in ground mines - the cost in extracting the gold from ocean water is much higher than using ground mines. But find (or design) an algae that can isolate and concentrate the gold in a shallow sea, and you change the balance. Hydrocarbons are useful; the pollution comes from the bits we didn't properly process (leaks, contaminated water etc.). Both recovering the material and disposing of it is beneficial if cost effective. And (some) hydrocarbons are toxic by themselves, but their components aren't - so decomposing the oil gets rid of the toxicity even if we can't reuse the products. You get some sulfur (valuable) and lots of carbon dioxide and water (both valuable and relatively harmless). Heavy metals are toxic no matter what... but they're also very useful. Again, that's usually how they become part of waste - like people throwing out batteries in dumps. Recovering the waste allows you to reuse the materials in new products. In more "mitigation" and less "recycling" sense, some compounds of heavy metals are no longer toxic, so that's another option. Nitrates are very useful in industry and agriculture. Again, it's mostly a matter of recovering the spilled extras and reusing them for something productive (rather than destroying the environment). Radioactive material... well, there are some useful ways of dealing with radioactive waste, but for the most part, we're doing "containment". Accumulating it allows us to safely store the waste at reasonable costs to avoid environmental exposure. It could also be feed-stock for something productive in theory, but it's tricky to work with (in no small part for security reasons - the equipment that allows you to do useful stuff with radioactive materials can also be used for weapons and such). And don't think "nuclear power plants and bombs" when considering radioactive waste - by far the biggest source of radioactive waste is coal and stone processing and various other mining operations. What wasn't dangerous a kilometer deep or dispersed over a very large volume of soil can be very dangerous when e.g. concentrated in tailing heaps, or leaked into the water supply. Context matters. I could go on. A lot of recycling efforts are hampered by how complicated it is to concentrate stuff. The carbon dioxide and various nitrous and sulfuric oxides that your car produces are very useful for industry and agriculture - but it's not easy to actually make use of them when they're produced in tiny batches all over the world. Make that part easier, and they become useful feed-stock for all sorts of things (e.g. burn that fuel in a power plant, and you can use that "waste" for something useful much easier - like producing fertilizer or feeding algae pools, or even using the waste heat for local heating).

The lead issue isn't because lead itself isn't sufficiently being filtered at the treatment plants, though. When there are treatment failures (not specifically lead ones) it causes water contamination as it's on the way from the treatment plant to your house. The lead is absorbed (from the pipes) AFTER leaving the treatment facility. Interesting research but not actually helpful in cases such as the Flint tragedy.

Bamboo and hemp are excellent phyto-remediators and grow very quickly.

I bet mush rooms grown everywhere can mean less contaminated soil so this could mean witches can do you a favor Captain Planet meets Harry Potter

This is extremely interesting & informative. People forget or ignore the fact practically everything on Earth, except for a few things from meteorites, is from the Earth and can go back into the Earth. Another proof GOD is good and knows what HE is doing. This can't be by accident but by a thinking being.

I've heard of some places trying to cultivate a few more cat tails or reeds to absorb some toxins...? And thinking of a few more commandments which could also provide helpful guidance, in other than ways involving lack of foresight... like don't eat feces, or throw feces in water, like you would with the toilet at home; feces belongs in the woods, buried at least 200 ft. From and campsite, trail, or waters...

Very interesting, and exciting possibilities, but also a few concerns: 1) most of the experiments described seem to have been very short, ie, a few hours or days; then what? Do the organisms have to be replaced frequently? What happens after a few months or years? After decades? What happens if they die in place, after accumulating, and concentrating, so much toxic material? What happens after the cleanup, when everyone has left, and some hyper-accumulators are inevitably left behind? 2) What if the microbial organisms escape and spread? What keeps them from wreaking havoc upon our plastic world? Plastic is used everywhere, from deep sea exploration to outer space, in medical equipment, garden hoses and ink pens. What would prevent a man-made catastrophe?

OK, so that is incredibly interesting about the bivalves sucking up all this toxic/poisonous material. But what happens when someone wants to EAT the bivalves?? Or oyster mushrooms? Or sunflower seeds? Do the scientists, or whomever is doing the experiment, make sure that the potential food is never eaten? I wish I had seen this video when it was first posted, because I sincerely doubt someone will comment after nearly a year...

I know when heavy metal has affected me too much when I have severe head banging, thrashing all around, acting like a maniac, and then I get whiplash.

Not all oil spills are bad. Just take the area of Fort McMurray up in northern Alberta, Canada for example. More commonly known as the Oil Sands. The land there is just oozing oil. An entire forest floor and rock faces are all black. Yet you wouldn't believe how that forest and other life continues to thrive there. The oil being there is all natural. Humans didn't put that oil there, in fact we are working on ways to collect it. That's a lot of money just sitting there.
