DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2021.105884
Abstract: The increasing extraction of bitumen from the oil sands region in Canada is creating a need for transport. Spills from current and projected pipelines represent a significant environmental risk, especially for freshwater ecosystems. The toxicity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.06.037
Abstract: Selenium (Se) is a contaminant of concern in many aquatic ecosystems due to its narrow range between essentiality and toxicity in oviparous (yolk-bearing) vertebrates. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects… read more here.
