Ecological Risk Assessment to Aquatic Life from Metals in the Surface Sediments of the Santiago-Guadalajara River Basin, Mexico
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Santiago-Guadalajara River (SGR) is one of the most polluted river systems in Mexico because there is still a significant amount of untreated industrial, agricultural and municipal wastewater discharged. A sediment monitoring campaign was carried out at 25 sampling points located in the Santiago and Zula rivers, as well as in their main tributaries. In this work, six indices and criteria were selected to assess the level of metal contamination in the main and tributary streams. The following sequence of metals of concern were identified (mean values in mg kg-1 dry basis): Zn (71.92)> Cu (35.22)> Cr (23.82) > Ni (14.95)> Pb (10.82) > As (2.82) > Cd (2.40) > Sb (2.06). Previous studies in the region agree that Al, Fe, Mn, and Ba are part of the natural lithologic composition of the basin, and what is found in the sediments is likely the result of the natural rock weathering processes rather than an anthropogenic contamination process. According to the proposed assess methods Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn were found in low to moderate levels of contamination, and Sb and Cd were found in considerable to very high contamination levels in several of the monitored stations.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
