Someone brought this up in a child comment: what are the taste/health effects of near-permanent car traffic on fruit trees? The fruit of the public citrus trees in my city is pretty sour, but I don't know how much this is because of not being bred for sweetness, vs absorbing carbon monoxide, lead etc from passing cars.
