> [@MonkeyMensch](#): > > Nice study but it left out the important measurement: ACE-K’s presence in the local tap water. ACE-K is the marker they were using and it’s present in urine and ground water and from there tap water used to maintain water levels in the pools. Concentration of ACE-k was on the order of 1 in 5 billion. I’m going to go check back and see if the full study is available. Also, if ace-k doesn’t break down easily, presumably most of it that did originate from pool pee has been in the pool for some time, long after the other components that make pee be pee have broken down. The article seems to suggest the findings correlate with there being 75 liters of urine presently in the pool, when it’s probably far less. ---
