British scientists use specific organics to reduce the toxicity of pollutants

Scientists at the University of Manchester have made a major breakthrough in the study of the toxicity of pollutants, and found more effective ways to eliminate the toxicity of pollutants such as PCBs and dioxins

The Manchester Institute of Biotechnology Research team is investigating how some natural organics manage to reduce the toxicity level of pollutants and shorten the lifespan of several serious pollutants

Professor David Liss explained the research: “We already know that most toxic pollutants contain halogen atoms, and most biological systems cannot handle these molecules

He continued: “Explaining this innovative process of removing toxins in detail means that we are now able to replicate it

Professor David Liss has made a major breakthrough in his 15-year research and has been funded by the European Research Council (ERC)

The main purpose of the research is to find a way to eliminate the toxicity of more than a dozen harmful substances that have been released into the environment

Professor Liss said: "In addition to removing the toxicity of pollutants and reducing the lifespan of pollutants, we believe that our research results will help develop better methods for screening environmental or food samples
