No numbers in that piece. What is the technical definition of 'loaded'? Do they mean 'detectable'?

It seems curious that Seattle folks would worry about this anyway. They are the ones taking the pills in the first place! They're just going back for seconds after all.

Not sure why the downvotes for you... "Measurable" doesn't mean "too much" and some parts-per-million vs. ambient would be really useful here for context. "XX,XXX pounds of chemicals" is alarmist and non-specific.

Maybe the snark isn't appreciated - folks are worried about consequences for the health of the fish, not secondary dosing.
