Soil microbes help cleanse air of carbon monoxide
UPI reports scientists note soil organisms may remove carbon monoxide as fast as it is released. Tests show six pounds of potting soil purge CO in three hours and 16 of 200 soils fungi consume the gas, suggesting U.S. soil could annually remove about 500 million tons versus 200 million tons man produced. Urban areas may lack enough microbe activity to prevent CO buildup in cities like Los Angeles.
