Field Survey of Health Perception and Complaints of Pennsylvania Residents in the Marcellus Shale Region
Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale region residents have reported medical symptoms they believe are related to nearby Unconventional Natural Gas Development (UNGD). Associations between medical symptoms and UNGD have been minimally explored. The objective of this descriptive study is to explore whether shale region Pennsylvania residents perceive UNGD as a health concern and whether they attribute he...
متن کاملLandscape Disturbance from Unconventional and Conventional Oil and Gas Development in the Marcellus Shale Region of Pennsylvania, USA
The spatial footprint of unconventional (hydraulic fracturing) and conventional oil and gas development in the Marcellus Shale region of the State of Pennsylvania was digitized from high-resolution, ortho-rectified, digital aerial photography, from 2004 to 2010. We used these data to measure the spatial extent of oil and gas development and to assess the exposure of the extant natural resources...
متن کاملMethane emissions from the Marcellus Shale in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia based on airborne measurements
Natural gas production in the U.S. has increased rapidly over the past decade, along with concerns about methane (CH4) leakage (total fugitive emissions), and climate impacts. Quantification of CH4 emissions from oil and natural gas (O&NG) operations is important for establishing scientifically sound, cost-effective policies for mitigating greenhouse gases. We use aircraft measurements and a ma...
متن کاملSecondary Minerals and Constituents of the Marcellus Shale Formation
This work identifies unknown crystals found encrusting the Marcellus Shale Formation at the Mapleton Quarry locality in Central Pennsylvania, over the course of a month. The outcrop has been exposed for sufficient time for there to be advanced chemical weathering, allowing for the presence of secondary minerals to form and changes in the composition of the surrounding water table and environmen...
متن کاملAtmospheric emission characterization of Marcellus shale natural gas development sites.
Limited direct measurements of criteria pollutants emissions and precursors, as well as natural gas constituents, from Marcellus shale gas development activities contribute to uncertainty about their atmospheric impact. Real-time measurements were made with the Aerodyne Research Inc. Mobile Laboratory to characterize emission rates of atmospheric pollutants. Sites investigated include productio...
