UCI study links regional air pollution to oil gas areas
UC Irvine scientists report ground level hydrocarbons from oil and gas exploration in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas create regional smog levels comparable to Los Angeles and Chicago. The study found Oklahoma City area air richer in methane and short alkanes, suggesting the US emits more methane than previously estimated and linking regional activity to elevated ozone forming compounds.
