Thanks for that, but I have serious doubts about that page.

First, the "winner" of the "study" happens to be the product that
this is being sold on this site -- a clear conflict of interest.

Also, the detection limit for mercury is too high at 0.05ppm.
Of course they detected no mercury -- they weren't testing
it closely enough.

Take a look at the prime chlorella website:
  http://www.primechlorella.com/faqs.php

According to THEIR testing, most chorella's on the market
test positive for mercury when the detection limit is 0.01ppm.
And theirs test clean 0.001ppm.
