Artificial sweeteners in Ontario streams
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To quantify the influence of septic system effluent on streams, 294 samples from 173 stream sites in southern Ontario, Canada, were collected between 2008 and 2015 and analyzed for four artificial sweeteners, acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, and sucralose. These artificial sweeteners are powerful tracers of wastewater in the environment due to their widespread use in consumer products and their high concentrations in raw and treated wastewater. Septic systems are known to contribute artificial sweeteners to groundwater, which can subsequently discharge to surface waters. 91% of the stream water samples collected as part of this dataset contained one or more artificial sweeteners, indicating a contribution of groundwater that originated from septic system effluent. Detailed information on the collection and interpretation of this data is published in Journal of Hydrology X 7: 100050. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hydroa.2020.100050.

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.
