Horseradish is so potent that it clears clogged sinuses, tickles taste-buds when dabbed on gefilte fish or roast beef… and now, it can clean up industrial wastewater. Jean-Mare Bol-lag, codirector of Penn State's Center for Bioremediation and Detoxification, and Jerzy Dec, a research associate there, report that minced horseradish root can clean wastewater containing phenols a lot more cheaply than other chemical and physical treatments.
