Motivation to Monitor Near Oil and Gas Facilities
• Exposure concerns raised by communities
• Public awareness raised as a result of Aliso Canyon
underground natural gas leak, particularly aging
infrastructure
• California Council on Science and Technology (CCST)
independent review of well stimulation
recommendations:
○ Production generally a concern
○ Measure toxic emissions near production wells
○ Assess public health near all wells
○ Develop policies to limit exposures
