Yes however, (anecdotally) the plants don't let the pollution get into their fruits.
Would there be pollution simply from air contact? I can't answer that question. I would assume it is still be better than pesticides and industrial agriculture?
- ivanhoe 7y agoPollution gets into leaves and in the fruits. Question is whether it will make it unsafe for humans, probably not, but it still can affect the plant's health and the amount of crops that you can harvest. "Tomato, watermelon, squash, potato, string beans, snap beans, pinto beans, tobacco, soybeans, cantaloupe, muskmelon, alfalfa, beets, sunflower, carrots, sweet corn, gourds, green peas, turnips, grapes, peaches, and strawberries are some of the more susceptible crops to air pollution damage. Cucumbers, pumpkins, and peppers are less susceptible. Watermelon and squash are the most sensitive of the cucurbits followed by cantaloupe." https://extension.umd.edu/learn/air-pollution-effects-vegetables https://extension.umd.edu/learn/air-pollution-effects-vegeta...
