Air Pollution Air pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from various stages of shale gas development. NOx and VOCs mix in the presence of sunlight to form ground level ozone (smog).

Examples are benzene, hydrofluoric acid, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and many, many other toxic pollutants. In 2016 it accounted for 57% of total toxic emissions from larger sources in the city, including benzene and other known carcinogens. Refining uses many risky industrial processes.

However, leaks which allow gasses to escape can mitigate reductions or result in overall increases in emissions relative to alternate storage methods, and generating energy via anaerobic digesters can emit pollutants like nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, among others. 2016 , Benchaar and Greathead, 2011 , Gutierrez et al.,

Indeed, the EPA, under the Obama administration, in 2016, completed Quad Oa, also known as the "New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for [volatile organic compounds] VOC[s] and methane emissions from the oil and gas sector," which is a substantial source of methane emissions. (7) Turner, Jr.

But, as you noted, despite all the groundwork leading up to the 2015 rule, the Clean Power Plan was immediately challenged, and in 2016—before it went into effect—the Supreme Court stayed the rule. It sets a framework for states and utilities across the country to fully reckon with their power plants’ carbon emissions. billion to $5.9

The grant program ended in 2016 due to a lack of funding. The SAB Staff Office is especially interested in scientists with the expertise described above who have knowledge and experience relating to criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter and sulfur oxides).
