- •
Traffic-related environmental impacts of fracking studied using a novel Traffic Impact Model.
- •
Model estimates greenhouse gas, local air quality, noise and axle loading impacts on roads.
- •
Single well pad creates substantial increases in local air quality pollutants during peak activity.
- •
Short-duration/large-magnitude events may adversely affect local ambient air quality and noise.
- •
Daily NOx emissions may increase by over 30% and hourly noise levels can double (+ 3.4 dBA)
