Edmonton Journal: Warnings about higher levels of air pollution in the oilsands have emerged in a new provincial air quality report that calls for further investigation into possible pollution sources.

The new estimates, from scientists at the Stockholm Environment Institute, were published over the weekend by the journal Nature Climate Change.

Study: Keystone carbon pollution more than figured
