PREFACE

This study was carried out under DEFRA’s Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) Research Programme, which aims to underpin Government policy on the environmentally safe use of genetically modified organisms.
This report represents the findings of a desk study on the current and future uses of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for the bioremediation of organic and inorganic pollutants, and an assessment of the risks of such uses to the environment and human health.

The report was compiled by Dr Colin Cartwright and Helen Folkard-Ward of WS Atkins Environment; Dr Ian Thompson, Dr Michelle Barclay and Prof Mark Bailey at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Oxford; and Prof Andrew Smith from the Department of Plants Sciences, University of Oxford.
