Human Practices

For human practices the University of Calgary team took a few approaches this year. We searched past and present legislation to find how the various levels of government mandate the regulation of naphthenic acids. This culminated in a report that is summarized below. The full report can be found here. We also contacted our local safety board about our project. Their letter of support can be found here.
