What We Can Learn From Pennsylvania DEP’s Marcellus Air Monitoring Studies
Key Points: DEP’s Marcellus air studies monitored for 44 pollutants at 8 Marcellus Sites The study focused solely on concentrations sufficiently elevated that short-term exposure would pose a health risk. For several of the pollutants we would most expect to see near natural gas sites, DEP’s monitoring equipment was not sufficiently sensitive to detect these pollutants unless air concentrations were well above levels where short-term exposure is dangerous No consideration of
