The levels detected by the study were infinitesimally low. An analysis of the study by ChemRisk shows

> More than two-thirds of the samples analyzed by IATP had no detectable level of mercury at all. In 
the remaining sample, most of these were at or near the limit of detection. The average concentration 
for the 17 samples with detectable levels was only 128 parts per trillion (ppt). EPA sets limits for 
mercury in drinking water at two parts per billion. To imply that there is a safety concern to consumers 
based on the findings presented is both incorrect and irresponsible.
