If you're not a biogeochemist but curious about why metal concentrations can double throughout a single sunny day (spoiler: photochemistry is wild), & how that affects rare earth elements (the stuff in your phones/EV batteries), I just wrote a plain language summary of our recent paper! #SciComm 🧪⚒️

Heavy metals are turning up in💧wells across the Hermits Peak Calf Canyon fire area. 🔥
Antimony in 93% of wells.
Could fire retardant be the source?
The ONE paper characterizing heavy metals in firefighting products suggests that’s the case.

“Eleven metals were found at elevated levels in groundwater samples from private wells, including three — antimony, arsenic and uranium — at levels above U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards, and one, manganese, above an EPA lifetime health advisory.”
