Permanent reclamation of tailings generated by surface mining in the Canadian oil sands may be achieved through the creation of end pit lakes (EPLs) in which tailings are stored in mined-out pits and capped with water. However, these tailings contain high concentrations of dissolved organics, metals, and salts, and thus surface water quality of EPLs is a significant concern. This is the first study to investigate the chronic toxicity of surface water from Base Mine Lake (BML), the Canadian oil sands first large-scale EPL, to aquatic invertebrates that play a vital role in the early development of aquatic ecosystems (Chironomus dilutus and Ceriodaphnia dubia). After exposure of C. dilutus larvae for 23 days and C. dubia neonates for 8 days, no mortality was observed in any treatment with whole BML surface water. However, the emergence of C. dilutus adults was delayed by nearly 1 week, and their survival was significantly reduced (36%) compared with the controls. Reproduction (fecundity) of C. dubia was reduced by 20% after exposure to 2014 BML surface water; however, the effect was not observed after exposure to BML surface water collected a year later in 2015. Despite some adverse effects, the results of this study indicate that BML surface water quality is improving over time and is able to support certain salt-tolerant aquatic organisms. Because salinity within BML will persist for decades without manual intervention, the ecological development of the lake will likely resemble that of a brackish or estuarine ecosystem with reduced diversity.

从加拿大油砂终点坑湖到淡水无脊椎动物Chironomus dilutus和Ceriodaphnia dubia的地表水的慢性毒性。

通过在加拿大油砂中进行地表开采而产生的尾矿可以永久回收,这可以通过创建端坑湖(EPL)来实现,其中将尾矿存储在采空坑中并用水封盖。但是,这些尾矿中含有高浓度的溶解的有机物,金属和盐,因此,EPL的地表水水质非常重要。这是第一个研究来自加拿大矿砂首个大型EPL底矿湖(BML)的地表水对在水生生态系统(Chironomus dilutus和杜鹃花(Ceriodaphnia dubia)。暴露于稀释的梭状芽胞杆菌幼虫23天,新生的梭状芽胞杆菌新生儿8天后,在使用全BML地表水进行的任何处理中均未观察到死亡。但是,C的出现。稀释型成年人延迟了将近1周,与对照组相比,其存活率显着降低(36%)。暴露于2014 BML地表水中后,杜仲念珠菌的繁殖(繁殖力)降低了20%;但是,在2015年一年后接触到BML地表水之后,未观察到这种影响。尽管有一些不利影响,但这项研究的结果表明BML地表水的质量随着时间的推移而有所改善,并且能够支持某些耐盐的水生生物。生物。由于BML中的盐度将持续数十年而无需人工干预,因此该湖的生态发展很可能类似于咸淡或河口生态系统的多样性减少。暴露于2014 BML地表水中后,杜仲念珠菌的繁殖(繁殖力)降低了20%;但是,在2015年一年后接触到BML地表水之后,未观察到这种影响。尽管有一些不利影响,但这项研究的结果表明BML地表水的质量随着时间的推移而有所改善,并且能够支持某些耐盐的水生生物。生物。由于BML中的盐度将持续数十年而无需人工干预,因此该湖的生态发展很可能类似于咸淡或河口生态系统的多样性减少。暴露于2014 BML地表水中后,杜仲念珠菌的繁殖(繁殖力)降低了20%;但是,在2015年一年后接触到BML地表水之后,未观察到这种影响。尽管有一些不利影响,但这项研究的结果表明BML地表水的质量随着时间的推移而有所改善,并且能够支持某些耐盐的水生生物。生物。由于BML中的盐度将持续数十年而无需人工干预,因此该湖的生态发展很可能类似于咸淡或河口生态系统的多样性减少。这项研究的结果表明,随着时间的推移,BML地表水水质不断改善,并且能够支持某些耐盐的水生生物。由于BML中的盐度将持续数十年而无需人工干预,因此该湖的生态发展很可能类似于咸淡或河口生态系统的多样性减少。这项研究的结果表明,随着时间的推移,BML地表水水质不断改善,并且能够支持某些耐盐的水生生物。由于BML中的盐度将持续数十年而无需人工干预,因此该湖的生态发展很可能类似于咸淡或河口生态系统的多样性减少。
