What Role Do GMOs Play in Managing Organic Pollutants?
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be engineered to possess specific traits that enhance their ability to degrade or neutralize organic pollutants. For example, bacteria can be modified to break down complex pollutants into less harmful substances more efficiently. However, the use of GMOs also raises ethical and ecological concerns, such as the potential for unintended consequences on natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
