Sediment at the end of the Athabasca River - 200 km downstream from oil sands mines - doesn’t have higher concentrations of metals than what would be there naturally, according to a Waterloo study.
The study, carried out by scientists at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, developed a novel approach that can accurately determine the pre-industrial baseline levels of metals in river sediment. This approach allows regulators to instantly determine if values from routine monitoring programs contain evidence of man-made pollution.
An estimated 50 per cent of people will experience an abusive supervisor during their working lives—potentially causing anxiety, depression, and illness.
