Toxicokinetics and Bioaccumulation of Metals in Wood Frog Tadpoles (Lithobates sylvaticus) Exposed to Sediment Near Oil Sands Mining in Northern Alberta
Bitumen extraction in the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta releases metals to the region. In this study, I performed an uptake-elimination experiment with wood frog tadpoles (Lithobates sylvaticus) to determine the bioaccumulation potential of metals from exposure to MacKay River sediment, an area...
