What Does Tested Positive For The Substance PPX Indicate?

I have taken a workplace administered 10 panel urinalysis which I tested positive for the substance PPX. I should have nothing of the sort in my system. How can this be? the sample was then sent to a MedTox facility which upheld the field test results.
