Regulatory limits<br />
<br />
The legal limits for tritium in drinking water can vary. The U.S. limit is calculated to yield a dose of 4 mrem per year.<br />
<br />
* Canada 7,000 Bq / l.<br />
* United States 740 Bq / l or 20,000 pCi / l (Safe Drinking Water Act)<br />
* World Health Organization 1,000 Bq / l.<br />
