First, it's a quote. Why not email the authors of the paper and ask them what drugs they were on when they wrote the paper?

Second, learn English. "Organic" is not a synonym for "unpolluted". (Here, it is a legal definition. For livestock, the relevant part is access to pasture not treated with "non-organic" products within the last three years. Pollution is allowed.)
