Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are persistent, bioaccumulative compounds found \nubiquitously within the environment. They can be formed from the atmospheric oxidation \nof volatile precursor compounds and undergo long-range transport (LRT) through the \natmosphere and ocean to remote locations. Ice caps preserve a temporal record of PFAA \ndeposition making them useful in studying the atmospheric trends in LRT of PFAAs as \nwell as understanding major pollutant sources and production changes over time. \nA 15 m ice core representing 38 years of deposition (1977 – 2015) was collected \nfrom the Devon Ice Cap in Nunavut and analyzed for PFAAs. Samples were concentrated \nby solid phase extraction and analyzed by UPLC-MS/MS, IC, and ICP-OES. Both shortand \nlong-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) \nwere detected in the samples, with fluxes ranging from

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
