Hill emphasized the study’s limitations: the randomized and relatively coarse site selection and the focus on surface sediment and recent inputs mean the work will underrepresent sources that are no longer actively cycling or provide definitive point‑source fingerprinting without additional targeted sampling.
"I want to be clear that we're not measuring contributions from specific potential sources," Hill said, and added that compiling source profiles and integrating them with the current dataset would require a separate effort and likely additional funding.
