AB  - The content of various heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, manganese and zinc) in the moss species Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb. and its tea are presented in this study. Pursuant to the use of this tea in traditional Chinese medicine for hypertension, the aim of this study was to examine its safety in regard to the metals. All heavy metals were determined by adequate EPA methods. The concentrations of all metals for daily intake in its tea were below the safety levels for human consumption. These results indicate the importance of manganese in R. ontariense tea traditionally used for hypertension and other heart disorders.
