The DuPage River, that runs through Wheaton, is getting an unusual type of cleanup help from 9,000 mussels. The mollusks are going to be released in the river by the Forest Preserve. Why mussels? It turns out that are terrific natural filters. Researchers from Stanford University studied how mussels work to keep freshwater ecosystems free of pollution. In that study, the researchers found that mussels “removed up to 80 percent of some of the chemicals” within 72 hours. The study’s co-author, Richard Luthy, said, “Each mussel filters about two liters of water a day, so it doesn’t take a whole lot to improve water quality.”

Of course, if you were looking to get your home clean, then dumping 9,000 mussels might not be the way to go. Instead, here in Wheaton, you can always count on Junk King Chicago West for a reliable cleanup.
