18 Mar 2011 EDMONTON: Alberta's oil sands are back in business in a big way following a slowdown in activity during the Air Quality/NOx SOx pollutants. According to Alberta oil historian David Finch, everyone called them the tar downsides of the endeavour – water pollution, for instance, and the decline of  If Alberta, with its population of four million people, were a country, it would be the fifth largest oil-producing nation. While it produces conventional oil, most comes from the Alberta oil sands, the world’s third largest proven oil reserve at 170 billion barrels. The scientists also found that the snow in the Athabaskan oil sands regions of northern Alberta contains up 100 times more nano-sized particles of metal contaminants such as chromium, nickel, Alberta's oilsands industry is a huge source of harmful air pollution, study says. Alberta's oilsands industry is one of the biggest sources in North America of harmful air pollutants called secondary organic aerosols, a new Environment Canada study has found. Oil-sands development is polluting nearby remote Alberta lakes with rising levels of a toxic carcinogen, refuting long-standing claims that waterway pollution in the region is largely naturally occurring, a study has found.
