The levels reported are in parts per trilliion (ppt) range.  To put this in
context, this is comparable  to levels of acetminophen (Tylenol) and
caffeine in the Great Lakes.  With sensitive equipment you can detect just
about anything, the question is whether those levels are relevant.
This is just more fodder for the antineonic side who seem to have sided
with most things on the verge of unethical.
