Are there &quot;traces&quot;, or &quot;environmentally damaging levels&quot;? The language between the headline and body is inconsistent.<p>&gt; The study found MDMA concentrations quadrupled the week after the festival<p>Compared to what?<p>And considering that cocaine is likely far more dangerous, would it not have made sense to give an idea how much more than normal is in the water?<p>... While we&#x27;re on the topic of perspective, isn&#x27;t it wild how little attention agricultural runoff gets? I&#x27;d guess it&#x27;s an issue <i>many</i> orders of magnitude worse than Glastonbury&#x27;s piss. I&#x27;d search for the issue on the BBC website to compare, but their dark patterns are a no-no.
