Data have been weighted to reflect the national profile. Introduction You have probably heard about genetically modified food . In fact, any living thing can be genetically modified.
Genetic modification means altering the genetic make-up of any living thing.
Genetic modification can take place on micro-organisms , which are living things that can only be seen under a microscope, such as bacteria or yeasts. Products from genetically modified micro-organisms or GMMs are currently being used in food processing and in the production of certain medicines. The waste from the processes using GMMs is treated and then discharged as waste. Because there was no statistical difference between the responses to the two versions, the data have also been pooled in the Total column. Government regulators have passed these GMMs as being safe, but there are no legal limits on the levels of GMMs that can be released in waste, and no results of monitoring are publicly available.
