An analysis was conducted to determine the potability of a 35.0-mg sample of tap water. The results revealed that the sample contain 1.8 x 10-3 μg of Lead (Pb). According to the Philippine National Standards of Drinking Water of 2017, the parameter for safe drinking water has a maximum allowable level (MAL) of 0.01 ppm of Lead (Pb) concentration. Determine whether the sample tap water is potable or not (through calculations), and briefly explain your answer.
