A bioassessment of lakes in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, using benthic macroinvertebrates

A bioassessment of lakes in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, using benthic macroinvertebrates

Emissions of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants have increased in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) in Alberta, Canada. Atmospheric pollutants impact aquatic communities through a number of processes, but due to a lack of regional monitoring programs potential biological impact...
