Stable sulfur isotope measurements to trace the fate of SO2 in the Athabasca oil sands region

Abstract: Concentrations and δ 34 S values for SO 2 and sizesegregated sulfate aerosols were determined for air monitoring station 13 (AMS 13) at Fort MacKay in the Athabasca oil sands region, northeastern Alberta, Canada as part of the Joint Canada-Alberta Implementation Plan for Oil Sands Monitoring (JOSM) campaign from 13 August to 5 September 2013. Sulfate aerosols and SO 2 were collected on filters using a high-volume sampler, with 12 or 24 h time intervals.Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) enriched in 34 S was exhausted by a… Show more

“…Pandora trace gas and MAX-DOAS data were both available for inter-comparison for 4 d during the study. SO 2 and NO 2 mixing ratios were also measured from the air on board a Convair 580 research aircraft (Baray et al, 2018) using Thermo Scientific 43iTLE and 42i-TL analyzers, respectively, between 12 August and 7 September 2013, in- AODs at 380 and 340 nm were obtained from Level 2.0 AERONET data, measured by a second sun photometer at Oski-Ôtin. Aerosol extinction profiles at 532 nm from 0.1 to 12 km a.g.l.…”

“…The AOSR contains some of the few monitoring sites in Canada that experience peak 1 h average concentrations of SO 2 of greater than 70 ppb (Government of Canada, 2018), which is the new 2020 Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standard for SO 2 (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2014). SO 2 concentrations of up to 131 ppb were also observed by aircraft measurements downwind of an AOSR industrial facility in 2013, approximately midway between the Syncrude Mildred Lake Plant and Fort McKay (Baray et al, 2018). High concentrations of SO 2 over short durations are a health concern because negative pulmonary and respiratory effects of inhalation can occur after exposure periods as short as 10 min (Health Canada, 2016;WHO, 2006).…”

“…Ground-level particle composition was measured using an Aerodyne high resolution soot-particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS) (Lee et al, 2019). Particle size distributions were measured using Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) ("dry" line mode) and Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS) instruments (see supplementary information in (Tokarek et al, 2018) for more details). Particle diameters measured by the SMPS and by the APS were 0.014-0.74 μm and 0.5-19.81 μm, respectively.…”

“…High concentrations of SO 2 and other pollutants over the AOSR have prompted measurements using aircraft studies (Baray et al, 2018;Gordon et al, 2015;Liggio et al, 2016Liggio et al, , 2019Simpson et al, 2010), in-situ measurements (Amiri et al, 2018;Hsu, 2013;Tokarek et al, 2018), sun photometer (Fioletov et al, 2016), and satellite (McLinden et al, 2012(McLinden et al, , 2014(McLinden et al, , 2016.…”
