Molecular Markers in Environmental Geochemistry
Abstract
It is said that we live in an Information Age. Yet, throughout Man's tenure on Earth the ambient environment has been providing information on a continual basis. In the case of olfactory and taste senses, information is supplied and detected in the form of chemicals. So, in essence, we have been using chemical cues to discriminate among various substances for the entirety of our collective existence. [A good example is wine tasting.] In this book we will be interested in the detection of a particular category of chemicals, molecular markers, that can, under appropriate circumstances, provide information about sources of organic material. Some molecular markers are produced by humans either intentionally or inadvertently, whereas others are strictly biosynthetic. The characteristic shared by all molecular markers is the fact that their structures are linked to specific origins. Thus, the observation of one of these compounds in the environment necessarily signals the

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
