With the advent of greater levels of detection, you can find most known chemicals in water and animals including most drugs, industrial chemicals, poisons, and inorganic substances. But what is not stated here and within the cross-references is, are these findings relevant to production of any adverse effects in humans, dogs, and horses? The achieved dose of eating a freshwater fish will contain nanogram quantities of the “forever” substances. This article promotes a knee-jerk reaction that any finding of an industrial chemical is bad and toxic. With the advancement of science and greater detection abilities, you can find nearly everything everywhere. In toxicology the bottom line is, toxicity is based on dose not its mere presence.

A study could investigate the range and level of environmental chemicals in the human serum. The study above is quite revealing.
