Suggest you look at the Food Standards Agency warnings on mercury in
fish as an example:

Not caused by Hg in the air, you may like to ponder why.

Don't you think that it is a good thing to detoxify slightly
contaminated sites?
Not by dumping elemental mercury into the air, no!
So where would you like to dump it?

Can genetically engineered cottonwood trees clean up a site contaminated
with toxic mercury? A team of researchers from the University of Georgia -
in the first such field test ever done with trees - is about to find out.
Genetic engineering is not necessary to do this tho. Plants have been reported
that accumulated large amounts of heavy metals (IIRC somewhere around 4+% dry
matter).
What is the GE advantage here ?
