Instruments for detection work by taking a very, very, very, very small collecting unit and "counting" the hits on that unit. The results are then amplified and filtered to remove typical instrument noise and erroneous readings. The instruments of today are billions of times more sensitive than instruments just 30 years ago.
The readings below the detection limit would be in that "noise" area and can not be trusted as true detection of the targeted compound. Therefore, only readings above the stated detection limit should be trusted and everything else should be read as Zero.

Wow! People need to wake up and see what they are hiding. More stories like this I am sure are to come.
She is pissed and has a right to be! BP still only seems to care about MONEY! Screw the money, fix the mess and help the animals and people who have to suffer. This won't go away, it will just get worse.

Well that is easy to say. But no one works for free, and this type of job ain't cheap. BP cant pay for something they don't have leverage over.
In the news the other day here in Norway. It was mentioned that BP might have to sell all their Riggs, permits and contracts, just to be able to gather the 7 billion dollar found set up for this oil spill. What this indicate is that BP don't have the resources to clean up this mess.
I think the US government should tell BP to pack their bags and go home. We will clean up this mess and send you the bill.

I could guess that there are probably a bunch of college interns working for free and compiling this data, so it doesn't surprise me at all to see good data one day and junk the next.
I will try to find my links to the complete data set.
