The toxicity of organic fractions from aged oil sands process-affected water to aquatic species

The toxicity of organic fractions from aged oil sands process-affected water to aquatic species This study examined the toxicity of aged oil sands tailings waste, and it's affect on eight species of freshwater aquatic organisms: Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow), Oryzias latipes (Japanese medaka), Hyalella azteca, Daphnia magna, Vibrio fischeri, Lampsilis cardium, Ceriodaphnia dubia, and Hexagenia spp. Water samples were collected in 2011 from a testing pond within the Alberta Oil Sands, and bioassays were completed in a laboratory at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters located in Burlington, Ontario.
