    Did wastewater drug monitoring for a while, and the annoying bit was fentanyl metabolites sitting near the detection limit, so absence isn't proof.

      If it's below the noise floor, then you didn't really detect it, did you.

        Statistics can detect a lot of things below the noise floor given enough samples. However there are a lot of questions when it attempts this.
