Investigating the use of passive sampling devices for widlife contaminants monitoring in wetlands in the oil sands region of northern Alberta
The proposed study will contribute to the development of a comprehensive and long-term strategy to monitor wetland health in the oil sands region. After successful deployment of semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) in 2013, 2014, and 2015 to assess anthropogenic input of PAHs in shallow boreal wetlands (under the auspice of JOSM) work will continue with an emphasis on using passive sampling technologies. In addition to SPMDs, we propose to pilot sampling devices designed to target other oil sands-related contaminants. Specifically, we will target the use of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGTs) and polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) for mercury and naphthenic acids, respectively.
