Inaccurate.
The test vastly underestimates the total urine volume in pools.

Because lots of people who eat zero acesulfame potassium pee in pools too ...

The article concludes that there is around 75 liters of pee in an 'average' pool. If you take your average 6 lane lap pool, the volume is around 1,000,000 liters. So we're talking a pretty small amount here - .000075% - I'm not that concerned!

Still...there are some questions that are best left unasked....barring that, they should, at least, remain unanswered. !!!

South Park already discovered the dangers of too much pee in a pool.

“Our study provides additional evidence that people are indeed urinating in public pools and hot tubs.â€

The study went on to say, "Duh. I can't believe that we got paid for this!"

It's probably safer to drink pee than chlorinated pool water.

Homeopathy practitioners are feeling violently ill tight about now. ( actually they probably should whenever they contact water)

I've come to terms with the fact that there is pee in the pool... When people blow their nose in the water, however....

I think you'll find it's 100 times more than that. You appear to have calculated the concentration as 75/1000000 = 0.000075. That's not a percentage.
The actual percentage using your volumes is 0.0075%. Whether or not that has a bearing on your level of concern is a different matter.

That is how I must have absorbed those banned WADA substances and failed my test.
