Abstract
The present work is evaluating the seasonal variation in metal pollution and the ecological risk indices of surface water of the Ganges River (Northwestern Bangladesh). Concentrations of Cr, Pb, Ni, Cd, As, Cu and Zn in surface water samples were determined by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The level of heavy metals did not exceed the permissible limits of drinking water according to Department of Environment (DOE), Bangladesh and World Health Organization (WHO). Only Cr and Cd concentrations exceeded the permissible limits for aquatic life standards of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME). The heavy metal pollution index (HPI) showed that the seasonal contamination level followed the order: summer (136.13 (DoE), 220.72 (WHO) and 163.95 (USEPA, CCME)) > winter (57.38 (DoE), 91.36 (WHO) and 72.81 (USEPA, CCME)) > monsoon (16.49 (DoE), 25.36 (WHO) and 19.44 (USEPA, CCME)). Additionally, the HPI value crossed the critical index value (100) for drinking and aquatic life standard during summer season. The metal index (MI) value showed that the water was moderately (DoE), strongly (WHO) and seriously affected (USEPA, CCME) by heavy metals during summer season (3.15, 4.79 and 9.99 according to DoE, WHO and USEPA, CCME, respectively). While the ecology of the river is presently at low risk, this study suggests taking necessary measures to prevent the present pollution rate of contaminants from rising in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
