Air quality concerns of unconventional oil and natural gas production.
Increased use of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") in unconventional oil and natural gas (O & NG) development from coal, sandstone, and shale deposits in the United States (US) has created environmental concerns over water and air quality impacts. In this perspective we focus on how the production of unconventional O & NG affects air quality. We pay particular attention to shale gas as this typ...
متن کاملUnconventional oil and gas extraction and animal health.
The extraction of hydrocarbons from shale formations using horizontal drilling with high volume hydraulic fracturing (unconventional shale gas and tight oil extraction), while derived from methods that have been used for decades, is a relatively new innovation that was introduced first in the United States and has more recently spread worldwide. Although this has led to the availability of new ...
متن کاملHuman health risk assessment of air emissions from development of unconventional natural gas resources.
BACKGROUND Technological advances (e.g. directional drilling, hydraulic fracturing), have led to increases in unconventional natural gas development (NGD), raising questions about health impacts. OBJECTIVES We estimated health risks for exposures to air emissions from a NGD project in Garfield County, Colorado with the objective of supporting risk prevention recommendations in a health impact...
متن کاملAssessing Natural Gas and Oil Resources
Natural gas demand in the United States has been increasing for the last 15 years and is projected to grow substantially in the next 20 years. Meeting this growing demand will require an accompanying increase in supply, which is expected to come mostly from additional production in the United States. The prospect of increased U.S. production has led to ongoing efforts both to better assess our ...
