The webinar "The TRACER Collaboration: Community Exposures to Air Emissions and Noise from Oil and Gas Development, Part 1 " was hosted on January 29, 2025. In part one of the two-series webinar, the TRACER research teams described their stationary, mobile, and passive air quality monitoring to estimate community exposures. We will also learned about the NASA HAQAST Tiger Team Project’s complementary project “Satellite Observations Supporting Assessment of Unconventional Oil and Gas Emissions and Exposures. The webinar series features research conducted by the Tracking Community Exposures and Releases (TRACER) Collaboration. HEI’s Energy 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.
