20120808IMG_0483.jpg Fort McKay town lies downstream of the tar sands. The tar sands is the world's largest industrial project and the most environmentally destructive. Many of the residents of Fort McKay are afflicted by skin rashs or are afflicted by cancer. Studies show elevated levels of hydrocarbons and heavy metals near the mining sites. The towns drinking water contains high levels of Trihalomethanes (THM) and Halo Acetic Acids (HAA). The biggest risk from THM and HAA is cancer.

20120808IMG_5116.jpg The tar sands upgrader plant at the Syncrude mine north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, at sunset.. The tar sands are the largest industrial project on the planet, and the world's most environmentally destructive. The synthetic oil produced from them is 3 times more carbon intensive than conventional oil supplies, a disaster for the climate. They are responsible for the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet. Second only to the amazon Rainforest. They produce millions of litres of highly polluted water every day which leaches out into the Athabasca river and has serious health impacts on First Nation peoples living downstream.
