Industry figures suggest the oilsands release about 68 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year

Oil operations release vast quantities of damaging particles and noxious compounds.

Albertas oilsands are releasing possibly toxic compounds into the air at rates higher than official estimates, a study says. Find out more.

Authors of a report published in the journal Science, say the massive releases of volatile organic compounds, separate from the industry's climate-change-causing emissions, raise concerns about what those hundreds of complex, highly reactive chemicals are doing in the environment.

Innovative aircraft-based technique records carbon emissions not tracked before from the industrial region. Innovative aircraft-based technique records carbon emissions not tracked before from the industrial region.

The three largest sources emit anywhere between 200,000 and 500,000 tonnes of carbon in those chemicals annually

Alberta's oilsands operations produce far more potentially harmful air pollutants than officially recorded — putting the daily output on par with those from gridlocked megacities like Los Angeles, new research suggests.
