41different analytes detected
415 of 1,135 samples had a validated detection. Historical results, not a safety score.
Most commonly detected
Percent of samples actually tested for each analyte. Shown: at least 100 tests, 2 years and 10 detections.
View all tested analytes ↓The tested count differs by analyte. A detection does not establish health risk.
Detection over time
Samples with at least one validated detection.
4 tested years between 2005 and 2018. Gaps mean no validated tests in this release.
