Assessing Source Contributions to Air Quality and Noise in Unconventional Oil Shale Plays.
Our extensive air quality research in the Permian-Delaware Basin revealed, at times, extraordinarily high levels of air pollution, including air toxics such as benzene, and frequent high ozone days in violation of the ozone NAAQS. Our analyses show that the overwhelming amount of this pollution is due to UOGD activities, including emissions from production and storage, gas flaring, and truck traffic.
