Option 1
https://unece.org/environment-policy/air/protocol-heavy-metals
 * Article title:Protocol on Heavy Metals
 * Article Evaluation:This article is extremely short and can definitely use some work especially regarding the amendments to the protocol but overall all of the content is related to the topic. With this, it provides information in a neutral manner that is backed up with citations that are all reliable from credible sources. Unfortunately the talk page is still blank for this subject.

Option 2

 * Article title:Air pollution in Macau
 * Article Evaluation:While this article is extremely short the topic is quite niche so I can understand why. That being said I feel this article could definitely use work in terms of how it fails to express any governmental action taken against the pollution in this area as well as many details pertaining to how the air quality is and what pollutants are primarily being problematic. That being said the article appears to be for the most part pretty neutral and it is written clearly. The claims fail to provide meaningful sources and I feel that this could be majorly improved as it is important that all of the claims that were made are checked for authenticity. Again, no talk page, but that does not diminish the value that this article has in the scope of air pollution and sustainability in the east Asian region.

 * Article title:Geothermal power in Ukraine -- personal favorite of the choices I have...
 * Article Evaluation:While undeniable that Ukraine is in hot water due to the war that is presently going on, I feel this topic is far detached from any political or moral biases that I have due to it just simply taking place in Ukraine. The article is unbiased and discusses only matters pertaining to the Geothermal energy and its potential in the area. The only part that might be questionable in my opinion is that they have a short portion that describes the potential harms of geothermal power if exploited but I still feel that this falls under the potential of geothermal energy as it provides insight into what could possibly occur if geothermal power was expanded upon in the area. Overall citations were good and they seemed credible except one of them was completely written in Cyrillic so I was unable to determine if that one was good. What I find unfortunate about this article is that despite major changes occurring in this sector the Wikipedia is extremely out of date and could use work updating it with current usage of geothermal power.

Option 4

 * Article title:Nanowood
 * Article Evaluation:To be entirely honest this article is not particularly great right now and could use a lot of work. The article is unbiased, discusses tersely the subject, and provides three sources that are all relevant and mostly credible with the exception of an LA times citation which could have its credibility questioned. Overall while I do not think that this article is necessarily the best, I do think that it could use some work and given new information surfacing about the subject that is not included in the article, such as processes that are involved in synthesizing this wood as well as applications that it has/could have.

 * Article title:ATP test
 * Article Evaluation:This article is discussing a method of testi ng fo r adenosine tr iphosphate in a given sample . Thi s has ap plic ations when it comes to water testing and so il t e stin g fo r e nvir o nmen tal health as A  TP c   o nce  n  trat  i on i  s co rrelated with both of these things. With this, it can also be used to test water cleanliness. This is why I feel it ties into sustainability. With that said, this article is unbiased and stays on topic with the exception of a sentence that is repeated twice as an opener for two sections of the article. The sources are definitely not adequate whatsoever as there are only two and specific claims do not have any citations throughout the entire article. There are PLENTY of sources surrounding this topic and I am actually very shocked that this article is not fleshed out. Given the brevity and lack of attention to detail on the article, it does not have a talk page that I can refer to unfortunately as well.
