Is there a way to decrease ground pollution in industrial area besides Eden Project?
What vanilla trees does survive in industrial area?

I'm done with my industrial zones looked like a deserted area.

Remove all buildings and roads

There is a city planning policy called "Filter Industrial Waste" that came with Green Cities DLC. It makes industrial buildings filter their waste, reducing the ground pollution they create. To a degree of course but every little bit helps.

Do what they do in real life, which is more separation between the industrial lots themselves. Also if you can get generic industry to level three they create less land or ground pollution.

These are the trees in vanilla that are pollution resistant, though some of them do change colour. Like the orange ones to the right.

Though they all look less green on polluted lands.

Trees do NOT reduce the effects of land pollution though they will reduce noise if the stand is thick enough.
The clip below I place trees while in noise pollution overlay so you can see the effects of the trees on sound. I push the noise back to the train station with the trees.

Thanks. I know everything in this game except how to make aesthetically pleasing industrial area. I mean trees don't die around industrial area in real life.

I use common sense when zoning or placing buildings. Over-zealous in-game complaints can be distracting and lessen my enjoyment of the game.

So I use: -

Been working absolutely fine for me for the last four years... I wouldn't recommend a mod I wouldn't use myself

The change in color does not show up for the natural resources. The natural resources are still there, and still visable with the natural resources lens from the left side menu.

Yeah guys. I avoid mod at all cost. I don't want my city started to falling apart someday when I decided to play cities skylines without internet connection.

I mean yeah. It's a feature of the mod, so if I go enable the one to hide the color changes from natural resources, then the mod will do exactly what it's supposed to do and hide them. ;)

@Kompaktive: No More Radioactive Desert and More is just visual. It doesn't change anything other than how things look, so it can be disabled again. The only danger is really forgetting that the ground is polluted when you can't see it and poisoning your citizens. Not that I've done that ofc! Ahem... :P

That particular mod literally can't break your game though. It is not possible.

If some day you are without internet connection you're probably better off picking up a book. Or just going outside for a while. And ya I already know what happens if I mind my own business. :)
