Sometimes, that pollution can be beneficial. I knew of someone that lived in an area where there was once a battery factory. Their tomatoes--grown in the ground--where simply amazing. It turns out, their soil is pretty acidic due to that battery factory.

I'd be terrified of what else the battery company put in the ground.
Like gross amounts of lead.
why do you think the tomatoes taste so sweet? /s
You can accomplish the same thing by adding dog poop to your compost.
I tried adding cat waste to a compost pile (we used cat litter made of organic materials, not clay.) The result was horrific odor. I didn't do that again.
