Plants that absorb harmful elements/toxins?
In message .com, Jeff

Hello all.
I'm a militant earthy-crunchy (seriously), but I'm not here to cause
political riff-raff.
I'm looking to compile a list of known seeds that will grow plants that
are able to absorb significant amounts of chemicals, pesticides, and
other well known harmful materials.
Could anyone give me pointers/URL's that would help in my research?
The environment where these plants will grow is central Massachusetts,
and yes, the plants need to be legal. ;-)
Any help greatly appreciated.
-Jeff
