Modeling of oil mist and oil vapor concentration in the shale shaker area on offshore drilling installations.

30 Oct 2009 The objective of this study was to develop regression models to predict concentrations of oil mist and oil vapor in the workplace atmosphere in the shale shaker area of offshore drilling installations. Collection of monitoring reports of oil mist ... Read more...

Regional impacts of oil and gas development on ozone formation in the western United States.

30 Aug 2009 The Intermountain West is currently experiencing increased growth in oil and gas production, which has the potential to affect the visibility and air quality of various Class I areas in the region. The following work presents an analysis of these ... Read more...

Occupational exposure to benzene at the ExxonMobil refinery at Baton Rouge, Louisiana (1977-2005).

30 Aug 2009 Because crude oil contains up to 3% benzene and there is an association between high chronic exposure to appreciable concentrations of benzene and acute myelogenous leukemia, exposure of refinery workers has been studied for many years. To date, no ... Read more...
