Researchers at IIT-Guwahati have cooked up a clever way to clean wastewater using leftover mushroom waste and a natural enzyme. Their new method, called BHEEMA, zaps harmful antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin from water without leaving behind nasty byproducts—something older treatments struggle with. Even better? It works fast (90-95% cleaned up in just three hours) and doesn’t break the bank.

Editor’s Note: Water pollution from antibiotics is a sneaky problem—it’s tough to remove and can fuel superbugs. This mushroom-powered fix isn’t just smart science; it’s a practical win for places needing affordable, eco-friendly cleanup tools. Plus, turning farm waste into water purifiers? That’s the kind of circular thinking we need more of.
