摘要

Unconventional oil and gas (OG) activity in Colorado is increasing in areas with large population growth. Community scale exposures to substances emitted from OG operations is a public health concern. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has received over 200 citizen reports of acute health symptoms and odors during the development phases of drilling, fracking, and flowback by people living near OG sites. In response to reports of citizen health symptoms, we have completed six community exposure investigations, resulting in over 800 hours of air samples for 64 OG related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and select criteria air pollutants collected during different phases of OG operations. Investigations included 15 grab samples collected by either citizens or staff, downwind of the OG site during times of reported symptoms/odors in attempt to quantify maximum exposures. To capture continuous air measurements of VOCs and meteorological conditions over a longer time during different phases of operations, we deployed our mobile laboratory four times to two different communities. For each exposure investigation, we conducted screening level health risk evaluations to assess the potential for acute and chronic non-cancer and cancer health effects to occur to in those communities. For all community samples, all individual and combined VOCs had hazard quotients below 1 for non-cancer health effects and were within EPAs acceptable excess cancer risk range. Based on our evaluation of the continuous air monitoring, there is no clear evidence that airborne VOCs from OG operations result in potentially harmful long-term exposures to those living nearby. Although limited, our analysis of grab samples also suggests a low risk of harm from short-term acute exposures. More extensive site specific community level air monitoring is needed to fully understand the relationship between reported health symptoms and OG air exposures in Colorado.
