RE: Will we be using moss to remove lead from the drinking water in the future?
But its far too early to have an ecomical and optimal green solution technology for lead removal. Concentrated research and through understanding of the phenomena is required to make it sustainable.
yes still it's an early days, but it doesn't cost you nothing so why not try for this. Mosses grow randomly in shady and wet condition. we should try this easy remedy and it will cast us nothing
Of course. Going from the discovery of finding out that this moss can remove lead to the point where it can be used by the industrial sites who contaminate with lead can take many years at best, and might not even be viable at all. I have no idea how difficult it would be to figure out the mechanism behind the lead removal and get it to an operational device, but it could probably be very complex.
