Data I've worked with don't show discernible impacts in water, but analytical biases in my methods *have consistently ignored volatile fractions*, but that was usually justified by previous toxicity identification evaluations. Are volatile acids still (relatively) benign airborne? I'm not sure 🤷‍♂️

I haven't finished chewing on it yet, but I find Figure 4(a) particularly fascinating. The authors find elevated C7H6O2 (a benzoic acid analogue) downwind of Suncor pond 2/3, but not downwind of Syncrude Mildred Lake operations. What is the atmospheric half-life of NAs? Are they depositing?

The episodic character of cable broadcast also forced succinct step-wise concrete character developments to fit in those 20 min slots, while still leaving lots of room to "show, not tell." The live-action ATLA definitely falls towards "tell, not show." Exposition heavy.

Thanks to Doug Muench, Christine Martineau, Jason Ahad, @dwmcmartin.bsky.social, and John Headley, as well as our industry partner.

Longer story, atreatment wetland can (i) drop concentrations, (ii) make the mixture more polar, and (iii) drop average molecular weights of mixture classes. These are all consistent with decreasing toxicity in treated tailings. Other folks have related exciting tox data, but that's their story.

Thank you to @dwmcmartin.bsky.social & John Headley for your steadfast support throughout. I couldn't have asked for better supervision.
