Hello all,
I'm doing a research report on urban community gardens in hopes of swaying
the civic powers that be to support these efforts. One question that
arises, is the presence of city pollutants and the dangers they may pose on
consuming food grown near roads and other sources of contamination. Does
anyone know of a source of information on how far one must grow food from
certain pollution sources in order to be safe?
thanks!
