We examined the fate and behaviour of diluted bitumen (dilbit) as it weathered for 70 days in freshwater limnocorrals (10 m diameter× 1.5 m depth) installed in a boreal lake to simulate …
Due to the sudden nature of oil spills, few controlled studies have documented how oil weathers immediately following accidental release into a natural lake environment. Here, we …
Following spills into water, petroleum oils can spread widely and produce surface slicks. Resulting slicks may impede volatilization and possibly increase chemical persistence in …
Bitumen from the Alberta oil sands must be diluted to form diluted bitumen (dilbit) to facilitate transport through pipelines, yet little is known about its effects on aquatic organisms after a …
