Important context lacking here, @grist.org, despite the clear problems for water quality related to post effects from wildfires. /end

....with the potential for dramatic increases in magnitude up to 300 times pre-fire levels."

Brucker, et al. (2025) doi.org/10.1038/s432...

The article very clearly communicates the post-wildfire problem of elevated concentrations for water treatment. /4

The referenced article's perspective is from water treatment... "In particular, water utilities may consider the longevity and magnitude of the post-fire responses identified in this study as possible benchmarks—preparing for 1–8 years of elevated constituent loads following a wildfire event... /3

Yes, too much of a "good thing" can be bad for water quality and both excess organic carbon and phosphorus lead to eutrophication and other problems. That is, the high concentrations can be problematic, as stated, but to lump organic carbon and phosphorus in with "pollutants" is misleading. 2/

The cuffed jeans and, basely, the flip fops, are glorious. Style and ease like no other. And in Copenhagen no less.
