Article Synopsis
- * A recent study (2015-2022) found that 80% of sampled sites had aluminum concentrations exceeding safe levels, with increasing trends observed at large sampling locations.
- * The research utilized a Bayesian model to analyze factors affecting aluminum levels and offers a predictive tool for monitoring and potentially mitigating aluminum toxicity in freshwater ecosystems.
Five Aluminum Seasonality Regimes Identified in Chronically Acidified Rivers of Nova Scotia.

January 2020
Despite reductions in acidic deposition, high freshwater Al concentrations continue to threaten acidified ecosystems across the northern hemisphere. Seasonally elevated Al concentrations may pose a particular threat to freshwater organisms. Despite this threat, there is a lack of understanding about the timing and drivers of seasonal Al fluctuations.
