Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

p-Phenylenediamine antioxidants (ppDs) and their quinone derivatives (ppDs-Q) are key additives in rubber products with strong toxicity, persistence, and increasing aquatic concentrations, though global data scarcity hinders risk assessment. Thisstudy addressed limitations of manual data extraction by using a python-based toolkit integrating ocR and Spacy neural networks to eficiently extract key information (concentrations,locations, media) from unstructured literature, compiling globaldata via Web of science, scopus, and pubMed. ppDs/ppDs-Q show significant concentration differences across global aquaticmedia: in artificial water, 6ppD in road runoff reaches 80019,000 ng/L (Seattle, UsA) and 907 ng/L (china's Greater Bay Area)with lower levels in wastewater effluents; in natural water, 6ppD-Q varies regionally (2003,500 ng/L in Us rivers, 290890 ng/lin Canadian rivers, 0.2611.3 ng/L in chinese rivers); snowmelt water shows high 6ppD.Q (19.0 g/L in seattle, 367 ng/L aver.age in Canadian cold cities,. species sensitivity follows patterns: salmoniformes are most sensitive to 6PPD/6PPD-Q (LC/EC5O <0.001 mg/L), followed by echinoderms/mollusks, with lower sensitivity in lower trophic organisms. Coupled analysis showsUS river 6PpD-Q exceeds ultra-sensitive organisms' thresholds, chinese rivers pose subchronic risks to benthic organisms,and widespread detection in human fluids indicates continuous exposure. This "ocR-neural network" framework resolvesmanual extraction bottienecks, provlding an extensible paradigm for other bolutants, wnle conclusons support regulationsecological protection,and risk management for PPDs.

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.
