Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are ubiquitous in the environment. Wildlife
(including fish) are chronically exposed to PACs through air, water, sediment, soil, and/or …

We comprehensively review the current state-of-the-art of environmental monitoring for
hydrophobic organic contaminants in aqueous matrices using passive sampling devices …

A wide variety of sampling techniques and strategies are needed to analyze polycyclic
aromatic compounds (PACs) and interpret their distributions in various environmental media …

Environmental reclamation of Canada's oil sands tailings ponds is among the single largest
water treatment challenges globally. The toxicity of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) …

Ecological risk assessments (ERAs) of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), as single
congeners or in mixtures, present technical challenges that raise concerns about their …

Classical naphthenic acids (NAs) are known to be primary aquatic toxicants of concern in
the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR), and are a component of naphthenic acid fraction …

Oil sands operations to recover bitumen in Alberta, Canada generate large volumes of
contaminated water which are stored in tailings ponds. These ponds emit large quantities of …

Recent contaminant monitoring in boreal wetlands situated in Alberta's Athabasca oil sands
region revealed increased concentrations of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in …

Abstract The Fort McMurray region in northeastern Alberta (Canada) is rich in natural
sources of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) from exposed bitumen beds; …

Abstract The Canada-Alberta Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) Program began long-term surface
water quality monitoring on the lower Athabasca River in 2012. Sampling of low level, bio …
