The Alberta oil sands eroded bitumen/sediment transitional journey: Influence on sediment transport dynamics, PAH signatures and toxicological effect
Abstract
This paper investigated the sediment/contaminant continuum of bitumen containing sediment, from eroded exposed natural bitumen outcrops to river depositional zone, in order to improve our understanding of the transitional sediment, chemistry and toxicological influence on aquatic health. To achieve this aim, we linked a rainfall simulator with an annular flume to allow for connectivity between terrestrial erosion to stream flow. Bulk sediments …
