I study how fast poison leaking into the ground is cleaned up by microbes, and how it’s possible to protect drinking water sources from that poison.

I honestly don’t know how to phrase that so it sounds ridiculous or useless.

No, that would implicitly admitthat pollution happens, which would never occur on Fox. Better version might be “see if dirt absorbs poison”

Researchers spend $X trying to poison groundwater, thankfully foiled by bacteria.
