Methylmercury is one of the most dangerous pollutants in existence.
It is released into the environment via industrial activities such as the burning of coal.
Scientists are now developing a method of removing it from the environment, utilizing engineered fish and flies that take up the compound and neutralize it.
In lab tests, most of the mercury evaporated in gas form from the animals' bodies.
