These arsenic tests are done using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The levels are measured by comparing the instrument's readings to readings of known standards.

is this much arsenic worth worring about where i should be concerned?? Or is it like a question i asked about the tritium glowrings and the radioactivity of which could be harmful...the answer i was giving was "its fine as long as you dont eat the tritum tube"

The levels mentioned in the linked article are 6.3 micrograms/liter and less than 2 micrograms/liter. These values can also be expressed as parts per billion (ppb). I believe the EPA limit for Arsenic in drinking water is 10 ppb. In other words, don't worry about it.

If you drink enough of the water you can build up a tolerance, so the next time someone tries to poison you with ratsak,you should be OK.
