Chemical methods of purifying water are not entirely fool-proof nor completely safe. In this study, Moringa oleifera and other plants were tested at their ability to stop bacterial growth. Researchers chose to use the leaves, and tested their effectiveness at pH levels in which human cells survive. Moringa proved to be about 90% efficient at stopping bacterial growth.
