        <gco:CharacterString>Atmospheric Contaminant Deposition using Snowpack                  

The data set includes snow samples (metals, water chemistry and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs]). Data from 2012-2014 snowpack samples collected from ~90-130 sites located varying distances from the major oil sands development area show deposition patterns and levels consistent with earlier studies carried out in 2008 (Kelly et al. PNAS, 2009 and 2010). As with earlier findings, concentrations of numerous metals, water chemistry parameters (Ni, Pb, Zn, V, La, Al, Fe, total Hg, methyl Hg, total suspended solids [TSS], particulate organic carbon [POC], particulate organic nitrogen [PON], total phosphorus [TP]) and PAHs decrease with distance from the major mining extraction and upgrading facilities. Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) guidelines do not exist for snow.

L'ensemble de données comprend des échantillons de neige (métaux, chimie de l’eau et hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques [HAP]). Les données de 2012-2014 provenant des échantillons de l’accumulation de neige prélevés dans environ 90 à 130 sites à diverses distances des principales zones d’exploitation des sables bitumineux présentent des profils de dépôt et des concentrations qui concordent avec les résultats d’études antérieures réalisées en 2008 (Kelly et coll., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009 et 2010). Comme pour les résultats antérieurs, les concentrations de nombreux métaux, les paramètres chimiques de l’eau (Ni, Pb, Zn, V, La, Al, Fe, Hg total, méthylmercure, total des solides en suspension [SST], carbone organique en particules [COP], azote organique en particules [NOP], phosphore total [PT]) et les HAP diminuent avec l’éloignement des grandes installations d’extraction minière et de valorisation. Le Conseil canadien des ministres de l’environnement (CCME) n’a pas émis de recommandations pour la neige.
