CONCLUSIONS
Sucralose concentration is directly correlated with nutrient concentration.
All measured nutrients experience the onset of an elevated eutrohpic state around 120ng/L Sucralose, with a secondary uptick at about 500 ng/L sucralose.
The 57 ng/l or 150 ng/L thresholds previously observed in saples for the Florida Keys canals are not present in the nutrient enriched Greater Miami Area.
Most samples in the Greater Miami Area are above background concecentrations a those of the Keys, underscoring the already influenced and impacted pollution levels.
