Health and environmental impacts of methane and co-pollutants across the oil and natural gas supply chain
Session ID#: 249541
Session Description:
Methane emissions throughout the oil and natural gas supply chain have significant implications for public health, both as direct pollutants and as potent greenhouse gases driving climate change. This session examines health and environmental impacts associated with methane and co-pollutant emissions across the entire supply chain, from extraction and production to processing, transportation, storage, and end use. Topics include health effects of methane and co-pollutants (including criteria air pollutants, VOCs, and HAPs), cumulative and disproportionate burdens on frontline communities, and environmental justice concerns. We welcome contributions on epidemiological studies, monitoring techniques, emission quantification methodologies, reduction strategies, risk assessments, climate impacts, community-based participatory research, and interdisciplinary examinations of lived experiences in communities affected by oil and natural gas operations throughout the supply chain.
