Ten days ago I asked the question "Is Manganese (Mn) in drinking water dangerous?" and I was very happy with the responses I recieved. Today I pretty much ask the same thing about Mo. Why Mn and Mo - both are not regulated with a hard MCL, neither by the WHO, nor by any country. They are also similar in the sense that they are essential elements, but could be detrimental at high concnetrations.

Molybdenum plays an important biological role as a micronutrient for plants and animals. At high levels it can be toxic to animals. While concentrations in surface waters are generally less than 5 micrograms Mo/L, concentrations as high as 500 micrograms Mo/L have been reported in some drinking waters.
