Stressors created by multiple resource industries can result in cumulative effects over time and space. Many studies have evaluated single stressors and assumed that cumulative...

Ambient air quality monitoring data (focused on hydrocarbon odours and emissions) collected by the Peace River Area Monitoring Program (PRAMP) and submitted to AEP.

Ambient air quality monitoring data collected by the Lakeland Industry Community Association (LICA) and submitted to AEP.

Ambient air quality monitoring data collected by the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA), submitted to AEP.

Abstract Electricity generation from renewable-energy sources has increased dramatically worldwide in recent decades. Risks associated with wind-energy infrastructure are not...

Abstract We examined polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and petroleum biomarkers (steranes, hopanes, and terpanes) in radiometrically-dated lake sediment cores from the...

Abstract: Understanding changes in environmental mercury concentrations is important for assessing the risk to human and wildlife populations from this potent toxicant. Here, we...

Highlights • Baculum bone health and liver contaminants were evaluated in river otter. • Protective and deleterious effects were detected for select contaminants. • Alkylated...

Abstract Abstract Image Vanadium, a potentially toxic metal, is enriched in the environment from anthropogenic releases, particularly during fossil fuel production and use and...

The objective of this study was to identify unique chemical tracers of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) to enable definitive discrimination of tailings pond seepage from...

The health of fish is a primary indicator of ecosystem response in the Oil Sands Region of northeastern Alberta. However, industrial activity is accompanied by other stressors,...

Abstract: Recent analytical advances have provided evidence that groundwater affected by oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is reaching the Athabasca River at one location....

An “event-based” approach to characterize complex air pollutant mixtures was applied in the Oil Sands region of northern Alberta, Canada. This approach was developed to better-...

This article is part of the special series “A Decade of Research and Monitoring in the Oil Sands Region of Alberta, Canada.” The series documents the history of monitoring in...

Abstract Fugitive emissions from tailings ponds contribute significantly to facility emissions in the Alberta oil sands, but details on chemical emission profiles and the...

Abstract The atmospheric lifetimes of pollutants determine their impacts on human health, ecosystems and climate, and yet, pollutant lifetimes due to dry deposition over large...

Abstract Tailings ponds in the Alberta oil sands region are significant sources of fugitive emissions of methane to the atmosphere, but detailed knowledge on spatial and...

Highlights • 48 elements in PM2.5 and PM2.5–10 were analyzed at four air monitoring sites. • Elements contributed 8–11% and 16–28% of PM2.5 and PM2.5–10 mass respectively. •...
