To investigate this we collected event-based wet deposition during a pilot study in 2010–2012 at the AMS 6 site 30 km from the nearest upgrading facility in Fort McMurray, AB, Canada. Sulfate, nitrate and ammonium deposition was (kg/ha) 1.96, 1.60 and 1.03, respectively. Trace element pollutant deposition ranged from 2 × 10−5 - 0.79 and exhibited the trend Hg &lt; Se &lt; As &lt; Cd &lt; Pb &lt; Cu &lt; Zn &lt; S. Crustal element deposition ranged from 1.4 × 10−4 – 0.46 and had the trend: La &lt; Ce &lt; Sr &lt; Mn &lt; Al &lt; Fe &lt; Mg. S, Se and Hg demonstrated highest median enrichment factors (130–2020) suggesting emissions from oil sands development, urban activities and forest fires were deposited. High deposition of the elements Sr, Mn, Fe and Mg which are tracers for soil and crustal dust implies land-clearing, mining and hauling emissions greatly impacted surrounding human settlements and ecosystems.</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athabasca River</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/5918853050</style></custom3></record></records></xml>
