Colorado State University to Add AROMA-VOC to its Mobile Monitoring Platform
19th Apr 2022
Colorado State University is adding AROMA-VOC to its mobile monitoring capabilities this spring. As part of the Health Effects Institute Energy Research Program, Dr. Jeffrey Collett Jr. and his team will use AROMA-VOC in their project entitled “Measuring and Modeling Air Pollution and Noise Exposure Near Unconventional Oil and Gas Development in Colorado.” This work aims to assess potential links between short- and long-term community exposure to emissions from unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) processes throughout the UOGD lifecycle and is part of a collaborative effort called Tracking Community Exposures and Releases. AROMA-VOC was previously used by the Collett Research Group in the summer of 2021 to investigate emissions from the Permian Basin. Dr. Collett is a professor and head of the Department of Atmospheric Science at CSU, where he and his team specialize in field measurements of unconventional sources of air pollution and their impacts.Read more about the Collett Research Group and Health Effects Institute Energy Research Program.
