Cities are now building retention and detention structures to reduce pollution.
I had a valid question this weekend asking "What happens to the pollution once it is captured in the structure?"
I had always been told that nature takes care of it. So When I got home I set out to find some evidence of that.
This is the best and most concise info I could find.
Basically plants use it to grow.
It is a beautiful thing.
