At the same time, enthusiasm for collecting spring water for drinking many members of the public have shown needs to be tempered with caution, according to one expert.<\/p>\n<p>Although, according to hydrologists, toxic nitrates and many types of herbicide and pesticide may have entered many springs and groundwater, sometimes via lakes, this does not stop many from collecting water from a spring, thinking it clean, whereas ascertaining just how safe a source is is not a simple matter. The location of most springs in Estonia on their own have not been mapped, leave alone their water quality.<\/p>\n<p>People&#8217;s rationale in engaging in this hobby have changed down the years, she added. Whereas 30 years ago it was at the heart of a desire to know more about folk traditions, a decade later, the motivation was more for health purposes. Today, the focus is on actual drinking water, and a return to the practice of collecting spring water which had diminished somewhat during the Covid pandemic. One or two drinks, even with small amounts of pollutants including nitrates, will not be harmful , but more regular consumption might be, making checking out the source of a source, as it were, a worthwhile precaution.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.err.ee\/1609089917\/estonian-spring-water-abundant-but-caution-sometimes-needed-when-drinking\">ERR<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-392\/\">Estonian spring water abundant, but caution sometimes needed when drinking<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4812,11363],"class_list":["post-116675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-estonia","tag-spring-water"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116675\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
