New HEI Energy report on community exposures from air and noise pollutants

HEI has published a new report Predictive, Source-Oriented Modeling and Measurements to Evaluate Community Exposures to Air Pollutants and Noise from Unconventional Oil and Gas Development led by Dr. Lea Hildebrandt Ruiz at The University of Texas at Austin. Hildebrandt Ruiz and colleagues developed the "TRAcking Community Exposures and Releases" (TRACER) model. The model can be used to predict the magnitude and frequency of emissions from individual UOGD sources, and when coupled with dispersion modeling, generates concentrations of chemicals in the air.
