Fate of polycyclic aromatic compounds from diluted bitumen spilled into freshwater limnocorrals

S. Stoyanovich et al.

Summary: The physical and chemical properties of dilute bitumens can affect the environmental fate and effects of the compounds. The study found that only a small proportion of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) from dilbit enters the aquatic system, but high concentrations can be found in sediments.

Toxicity of Weathered Sediment-Bound Dilbit to Early Life Stages of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Sean Everitt et al.

Summary: The study found that the presence of oil-mineral aggregates (OMAs) in water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) greatly increased the toxicity, despite similar concentrations of dissolved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in all fractions. Zebrafish larvae exposed to WAFs showed greater cyp1a mRNA abundances, indicating differences in bioavailability of PAHs between fractions. However, there was little evidence that embryotoxicity was caused by oxidative stress.

Simulating diluted bitumen spills in boreal lake limnocorrals - part 2: Factors affecting the physical characteristics and submergence of diluted bitumen

S. Stoyanovich et al.

Summary: The study investigated the fate and sinking behavior of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in a freshwater environment. The results showed that dilbit sank to the bottom sediment with increasing spill volume, influenced by factors such as wind and rain. These findings are important for future pipeline risk assessments and protecting aquatic ecosystems.

Simulating diluted bitumen spills in boreal lake limnocorrals-Part 1: Experimental design and responses of hydrocarbons, metals, and water quality parameters

Jose Luis Rodriguez-Gil et al.

Summary: Large-scale in-lake enclosures were used to simulate spills of diluted bitumen in a boreal lake, assessing the fate of dilbit-derived hydrocarbons and metals as well as the impacts on water quality parameters. The results showed rapid increase and subsequent decrease in hydrocarbon and metal concentrations following dilbit application, with some metals displaying significant treatment effects, aiding in risk assessment.

Polycyclic aromatic compounds in the Canadian Environment: Aquatic and terrestrial environments

Christopher H. Marvin et al.

Summary: Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are widely distributed in the environment in Canada, with significant releases coming from the oil and gas industry and major cities acting as diffusion sources. Despite efforts to reduce PAC emissions through management actions, factors such as urbanization and vehicular emissions continue to increase the PAC load.
