A pilot study to assess residential noise exposure near natural gas compressor stations
BACKGROUND U.S. natural gas production increased 40% from 2000 to 2015. This growth is largely related to technological advances in horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing. Environmental exposures upon impacted communities are a significant public health concern. Noise associated with natural gas compressor stations has been identified as a major concern for nearby residents, t...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy for Natural Gas Compressor Stations; an Environmental and Economical Assessment
Iran’s environmental condition is critical, since it is experiencing desertification, unsustainable development and overpopulation. The objective of this study is power source replacement in natural gas stations that operate with natural gas compressors, through using electrical motors, which can be fed by a 160 MW geothermal power plant, as an alternative to gas turbines. Application of such a...
متن کاملNatural Gas Compressor Stations on the Interstate Pipeline Network: Developments Since 1996
This special report looks at the use of natural gas pipeline compressor stations on the interstate natural gas pipeline network that serves the lower 48 States. It examines the compression facilities added over the past 10 years and how the expansions have supported pipeline capacity growth intended to meet the increasing demand for natural gas. Questions or comments on the contents of this art...
متن کاملResidential Radon Exposure and Multiple Sclerosis: a Pilot Study
Environmental risk factors for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are not clearly understood, although vitamin D and sunlight exposure are thought to be protective. MS prevalence increases with increasing latitude, in a pattern similar to that of residential radon exposure, particularly in the U.S. To further study this relationship, a pilot study was conducted of ninety-seven MS patients and 51 non-MS pa...
متن کاملHypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports (HYENA): Study Design and Noise Exposure Assessment
An increasing number of people live near airports with considerable noise and air pollution. The Hypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports (HYENA) project aims to assess the impact of airport-related noise exposure on blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular disease using a cross-sectional study design. We selected 6,000 persons (45-70 years of age) who had lived at least 5 years near one ...
