A leading researcher Down Under has found soil bacteria that can destroy some of the worst cancer-causing substances in the polluted modern urban environment.
Professor Megh Mallavarapu, of research and development group CRC Care and the University of South Australia, said that the bacteria will destroy a group of chemicals known as BTEX which has been linked to cancer, nerve damage and other diseases in humans.

These sites are often the source of BTEX, which can pollute water and soil, or sometimes emerge from the ground as vapours.
