Modified iron filings remove contaminants from groundwater

Iron filings the materials students sprinkle on paper above a magnet to see signs of a magnetic field-can also be used to clean up groundwater contaminated with organic compounds containing chlorine. Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Univ...
