Default Re: What is Gallium at 110 ppm Doing in Phoenix Air Samples

Before fanning the flames of mind control paranoia, you might consider that there are integrated circuit manufacturing plants in the area and that Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is used in the manufacture of some of these chips. I also see 48 ppm Arsenic in the sample. My GUESS is that it is a case of industrial pollution due to integrated circuit manufacturing. I have no idea if the levels in the sample are anything to be concerned about.
