In this work, we investigate air pollutant distance decay gradients around an upstream oil and natural gas (ONG) facility located within a densely populated urban community in South Los Angeles. Despite the difficulties associated with interpreting air quality measurements in complex, multi-source urban environments, this pilot investigation was able to identify distance decay around the target ONG site and distinguish added air quality burden of several volatile organic compounds associated with ONG operations. Moving forward, we recommend additional research to better distinguish air quality contributions from ONG in urban environments.
在这项工作中,我们研究了南洛杉矶一个人口密集的社区内上游石油和天然气 (ONG) 设施周围的空气污染物距离衰减梯度。尽管在复杂的多源城市环境中解释空气质量测量存在困难,但这项试点研究能够确定目标 ONG 场址周围的距离衰减,并区分与 ONG 作业相关的几种挥发性有机化合物的空气质量负担增加。未来,我们建议进行更多的研究,以更好地区分城市环境中 ONG 的空气质量贡献。
