The amount injected is usually less than 0.5 ml (less than 1/2 cc). So 2
parts per million (2000 parts per billion = 2 parts per million), means
1 microgram (1 mcg).

This is really misleading, because this doesn't say what the volume is.
If this is the blood or fluid concentration, then then you would have to
divide the concentration by 1000 to get the concentration in a 1
kilogram baby (1 kg = 2.2 lbs - which is a tiny baby) to get the maximum
effective concentration of the mercury - and that doesn't take into
account the fact that mercury is rapidly excreted by the kidneys.
