Now, a new study suggests that one of the world\u2019s most consumed beverages has another benefit: purifying water. The study, published Feb. 24 in ACS Food Sciences &amp; Technology, found that tea can remove toxic heavy metals like lead and cadmium from drinking water. The substances were adsorbed (became stuck to the surface of) loose-leaf tea or tea bags and eventually removed from the cup.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers found that a \u201ctypical cup\u201d of tea could remove about 15% of lead from drinking water, even when levels were as high as 10 parts per million to start. A typical cup, in this case, is a mug with water and a tea bag brewed for three to five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton and nylon bags didn\u2019t adsorb much metal\u2014but cellulose bags did. Ground tea, especially black tea leaves, was slightly better at capturing metal ions than whole leaves. That\u2019s likely because these varieties have higher surface areas, providing more space for heavy metal ions to stick to. Several studies have noted high levels of heavy metal contamination in teas and tea plantations.34 However, the authors say their findings offer reassurance that the heavy metals attach to the tea leaves and don\u2019t dissolve into the water.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.health.com\/study-brewing-tea-removes-lead-from-water-11687376\">Health<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-678\/\">Brewing Tea Can Remove Toxic Metals From Water, Study Suggests<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,18137,18138,454],"class_list":["post-138054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-tea-brewing","tag-toxic-metal","tag-water"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138054\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
