Study of Neighborhood Air near Petroleum Sources
• Study air quality in neighborhoods
• Select neighborhoods close to oil and gas extraction facilities
• Characterize cumulative impact from surrounding sources

Motivation
• Exposure concerns raised by communities
• Aliso Canyon underground natural gas storage leak
• California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) recommendations
• Part of broader CARB effort to understand impacts of oil and gas operations

How do we determine the toxicity?
http://clipart-library.com/clipart/163895.htm 26
OEHHA develops benchmarks for toxicity called Health Guidance Values
•Noncancer Reference Exposure Levels oAmount of chemical in air that is not likely to cause
noncancer health effects
o For short- and long-term exposures
•Cancer Health Guidance Values • Describe how cancer risk increases as exposure increases
• For long-term exposure
![Page 27: SNAPS Lost Hills - California Air Resources Board · SNAPS Monitoring Trailer Lost Hills School Interstate 5 Lost Hills California Route 46 Methane concentrations vary around Lost](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042622/5f95fe22644ca52c186e62cf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What influences toxicity?
•Amount
•Length of exposure (time)
•Sensitivity

27
![Page 28: SNAPS Lost Hills - California Air Resources Board · SNAPS Monitoring Trailer Lost Hills School Interstate 5 Lost Hills California Route 46 Methane concentrations vary around Lost](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042622/5f95fe22644ca52c186e62cf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Toxicity depends on the duration of exposure
28
OEHHA develops Reference Exposure Levels for specific amounts of time
• Brief exposure (acute): occasional 1-hour exposures
• Moderate exposure: repeated 8-hour exposures over a significant fraction of a lifetime
• Constant exposure (chronic): continuous exposures from 1 year to a lifetime

Acute Chronic
![Page 29: SNAPS Lost Hills - California Air Resources Board · SNAPS Monitoring Trailer Lost Hills School Interstate 5 Lost Hills California Route 46 Methane concentrations vary around Lost](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042622/5f95fe22644ca52c186e62cf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How do we determine risk from a chemical in air?
Noncancer
How does the amount in air compare to the Reference Exposure Level?
Cancer
How much does the amount in air increase cancer risk by?
29
Reference Exposure Level
Higher? May be some concern
Lower? Little concern
Higher? Concern
Lower? Less concern

Preliminary observations on data collected to date –VOCs and metals
**Data are preliminary. Final results will be published in the final report.** 30
Short-term (acute) exposure
All detected chemicals below OEHHA acute health reference values, where applicable
Long-term (chronic)exposure
Still evaluating potential chronic health concerns
Notes We are looking further into all chemicals detected

Ozone, H2S, carbon monoxide, and PM2.5
**Data are preliminary. Final results will be published in the final report.** 31
• Ozone, H2S, and carbon monoxide were below California’s health standards
• PM2.5
oShort-term (acute) exposure: all values below 24-hour standard
oLong-term (chronic) exposure: average hourly concentration during June-August was 12.5 µg/m3

Moving Forward
• Continue monitoring while site lease is active
• Conduct data analyses including source attribution
• Continue evaluating detected chemicals against available HealthGuidance Values and assessing risk where possible
• Continue evaluating exposure patterns
• Release draft final report for public comment
• Hold community meeting to discuss final report and next steps
