Let's retain a sense of balance here - fluoride is naturally present
in tea and is not a contaminant (neither is it a heavy metal).

Of the 30 items Ankit Lochan lists for analysis it would be impossible
(in the real world) to have zero presence for at least 29 of them -
then at what positive level of presence do you define 'pollution'?
And is your level the same as my level?
