TRACER Collaboration: Tracking Community Exposures to Air Emissions & Noise from Oil & Gas Dev.

The session "The TRACER Collaboration: Tracking Community Exposures to Air Emissions and Noise from Oil and Gas Development" was held at HEI's 2025 Annual Conference on May 5, 2025. Session Overview: Chairs: Armistead (Ted) G. Russel, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA & HEI Energy Research Committee and Christine Wiedinmyer, University of Colorado, USA & HEI Energy Review Committee HEI’s Energy research program funded the TRACER collaboration to better understand population exposures to air emissions and noise from oil and gas development in multiple U.S. regions. The TRACER teams conducted air quality monitoring over the life cycle of oil and gas wells, and where feasible, assessed potential links between short-term and long-term community exposures and specific oil and gas development processes. The monitoring data improve understanding of exposure and were used to evaluate the collaboration’s TRACER model, which predicts chemical emissions from oil and gas development and their effects on both local and regional air quality. NASA’s Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST) funded a Tiger Team Project to complement the TRACER collaboration by analyzing satellite data representing the study locations with the potential to detect hot spots that might be missed by the TRACER collaboration’s ground-level monitoring.
