At the University of Sri Lanka, researchers found that water spinach, or kangkong, was able to absorb about seventy percent of the heavy metal chromium in the water. Another study by Indian researchers pointed out that water spinach can be used to absorb other heavy metals from water such as zinc, nickel, cadmium, lead, cobalt, and others.
