est-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing the prose of an Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) manuscript so it reads for a multidisciplinary audience in ACS style and fits the article-type word limit. ES&T values clear environmental significance stated early, ACS citation style, and tight prose. It guides writing and structure; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (est-writing-style)
ES&T is read across environmental chemistry, engineering, toxicology, and policy, so the writing must
land the **environmental significance** quickly and stay legible to non-specialists — within a firm
word budget. House style is **ACS** (numbered citations).
## When to trigger
- Drafting the abstract, introduction, or conclusions
- Cutting a manuscript down to the article-type word limit
- Converting jargon-heavy prose into multidisciplinary-readable text
- Formatting citations and headings to ACS style
