Scientists from the University of Granada found that olive pits can bind toxic metals like chrome from industrial sewage. Tanneries and galvanizing and painting industries produce metal tainted sewage which could benefit from this technology. Grenada is close to the province of Jaen which produces 10% of the worlds olive oil (and olive pits).
