The Question
How are the oil sands affecting the health of our waterways?
The Background
A recent study by scientists at Environment Canada working in collaboration with scientists at Canadian universities shows that the oil sands are a major source of pollution in Alberta lakes. They found that levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are on the rise with increased oil extraction in the regions. These chemicals are deemed carcinogenic and have been linked to infertility, immune disorders, and fish mutations. Yet there are no regulations or policies to address this.  See below for more information.
Your letter to Federal Scientists
Dear Scientists at the Aquatic Contaminants Research Division of Environment Canada,

Canadians are concerned about the impact of oil sands development on their access to safe drinking water and on the health of our waterways for the plants and animals living downstream. We are grateful that federal scientists like you have been tracking water pollution in lake ecosystems in and around the oil sands. Your recent findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences show that water pollution in northern Alberta lakes is a result of oil sands development (Kurek et al. 2013). These findings are concerning. We understand that these pollutants include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known carcinogens affecting both humans and animals.

Environment Canada states that, “No matter the source, Environment Canada works to track, control and reduce pollutants in our environment.” Are the pollution levels you found high enough to cause negative health impacts for humans and wildlife? How would you apply your findings towards improving protections for Canada’s vulnerable aquatic ecosystems and the people and animals living downstream?

I am writing this email as part of Write2Know (https://write2know.ca) a letter-writing campaign that aims to mobilize public awareness and inquiry into federal research programs. We want to let you know that we value federal science and scientists, and that our questions arise out of genuine concerns about the health and well-being of Canadians.

We remain concerned about the legacy of constraints on access to federal scientists and the results of their research, the elimination of essential research programs, and the closure of libraries and archives. These constraints and closures have impacted what Canadians can and cannot know about the health of their bodies, communities, and environments. We are hopeful that a new government will address our concerns.

We are posing questions to federal scientists about their research and findings, and forwarding our letters to federal Ministers and Members of Parliament.

I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

[Your name]
