Abstract
Fertilizers made from urban sewage and compost and from industrial waste contain higher levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) than those made from livestock manure, according to a new study ( Environ. Sci. Technol. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c03697 ). Sewage sludge and other urban waste reflect what’s consumed in the home, underscoring the continued presence of these compounds, says Sébastien Sauvé, an environmental chemist at the University of Montreal who led the investigation. By comparing samples collected decades ago with those collected recently, Sauvé and coworkers found that although the presence of some key PFAS compounds has declined over time, closely related chemicals are popping up. “The standard compounds that we wanted to ban and reduce consumption of are going down, but new ones are appearing,” Sauvé says. The researchers analyzed 47 solid waste samples for 160 PFAS compounds. The samples were collected in France during two periods: 1976–98 and

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
