Incomplete information regarding emissions from oil and natural gas production has historically made it challenging to characterize the air quality or air pollution-related health impacts for this sector in the United States. Using an emissions inventory for the oil and natural gas sector that reflects information regarding the level and distribution of PM_2.5 and ozone precursor emissions, we simulate annual mean PM_2.5 and summer season average daily 8 h maximum ozone concentrations with the Comprehensive Air-Quality Model with extensions (CAMx). We quantify the incidence and economic value of PM_2.5 and ozone health related effects using the environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP). We find that ambient concentrations of PM_2.5 and ozone, and associated health impacts, are highest in a handful of states including Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. On a per-ton basis, the benefits of reducing PM_2.5 precursor emissions from this sector vary by pollutant species, and range from between $6,300 and $320,000, while the value of reducing ozone precursors ranges from $500 to $8,200 in the year 2025 (2015$).

评估2025年美国石油和天然气行业排放对人类健康的PM _2.5和臭氧的影响

从历史上看，有关石油和天然气生产排放的不完整信息使人们难以确定美国这一部门的空气质量或与空气污染相关的健康影响。利用反映了PM _2.5和臭氧前体排放水平和分布的信息的石油和天然气部门的排放清单，我们使用综合空气质量模型模拟了PM _2.5的年平均平均值和夏季每天平均8 h的最大臭氧浓度带有扩展名（CAMx）。我们使用环境效益映射和分析程序（BenMAP）量化了PM _2.5和臭氧健康相关效应的发生率和经济价值。我们发现环境中的PM _2.5浓度在包括科罗拉多州，宾夕法尼亚州，德克萨斯州和西弗吉尼亚州在内的少数几个州中，臭氧和相关健康影响最高。在每吨基础上，减少该部门PM _2.5前体排放的收益因污染物种类而异，范围从6,300美元至320,000美元，而在2025年减少臭氧前体的价值从500美元至8,200美元不等（2015年， ）。
