#2> has shown they are rare or absent in two out of five fields
The title presumably should say 40%

#3Without more context the study is not very useful
pesticides, copper levels, phreatic level, number and species of hammerhead flatworms...

Your comment really shocked me,
Then I realized that I'd misread worms as women in the title.

Those questions are exactly why a study like this is useful - we didn't know there was a problem, now we can ask the questions to find out what's going on.
