What are trace amounts of drugs?

According to the LA Coroner's report Scott Ruffalo had "trace" amounts of cocaine and morphine in his body, but neither was the cause or played a role in his death. How much is just a trace?

I found several artices that referred to trace amounts of drugs in water being measured in parts per trillion, and another article which discussed trace evidence as trilionths of a gram. Every other source I saw just used "minute" or tiny" without quantification.
