There is no maximum contaminant level for ammonia in drinking water. USEPA does not consider it necessary to regulate ammonia in drinking water since the body produces much higher levels than are usually found in the environment.

What is the Maximum level for ammonia albuminoid and free ammonia in drinking water?

If water shows .00 parts of albuminoid ammonia per million, it can be passed as organically pure, even if it contains free ammonia and chlorides If the albuminoid ammonia adds up to .02, or to less than .05 parts per million, the water is still considered very pure water. When the albuminoid ammonia amounts to .05, then you have to look at the amounts of free ammonia and water which has a lot of free ammonia, along with more than .05 parts of albuminoid ammonia per million is suspicious or questionable. If free ammonia is not present or in only a tiny amount, water should not be condemned unless the albuminoid ammonia reaches something like .10 per million. Albuminoid ammonia above .10 per million begins to be a very suspicious sign If albuminoid ammonia adds up to over .15 parts per million the water should be condemned.

What is the maximum ammonia level that's safe to put new fish in a tank?

Ammonia levels should be at zero. Ammonia is never safe to have in an aquarium especially new fish. Transporting a fish generally causes some stress for them and with the addition of a water problem in their new home it could prove fatal. If this is a brand new tank it would be wise to cycle it fully before adding a fish.
