How One Company Secretly Poisoned The Planet

What does one part per trillion look like? Well, how may molecules of water in an Olympic sized swimming pool? Google tells us:

An Olympic-sized swimming pool contains approximately 2.5 million liters of water. This translates to roughly 660,000 gallons. Since 1 liter of water contains about 3.3 x 10^27 water molecules, an Olympic-sized pool would contain approximately 8.25 x 10^33 water molecules. 

One trillion is 10^12 (10 to the twelfth power), so one-trillionth of an Olympic size swimming pool would be 0.03 cc of water, or 30 cubic millimeters. Not very friggin' much.
