Answer 1

Lethal oral dose = 15 - 30mg/kg (milligrams per kg of the person's body) - 50% chance of death seen in tested animals

Lethal inhalation dose = 400 mg/m3/2H (milligrams per cubic metre for 2 hours)- 50% chance of death seen in tested animals

Answer 2

"HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH ARSENIC IN WATER?

When well water is tested for arsenic, the testing lab will often report how much is present as the number of milligrams of arsenic per liter of water (a liter is about a quart). Shorthand for milligrams per liter is "mg/L".

The current drinking water standard for arsenic is 0.01 milligrams per liter of water (or 0.01 mg/L). This standard was adopted in 2002 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to protect the water quality of public water systems. The World Health Organization has also recommended a guideline of 0.01 mg/L."

goes on to say 0.02 mg/L is a health risk...
