Soil contaminated with Zinc can be cleaned up using Canola plants. Canola plants can grow in polluted soil and absorb the Zinc. A study found that Canola plants can extract Zinc from the soil without being harmed. The more Zinc there is in the soil, the more Canola plants grow. This means Canola plants are good at cleaning up Zinc pollution in soil.
