New Methane Risk Map Traces Toxic Pollution from Leak Events

Leaks from oil and gas equipment don’t just release methane — they can also spew hazardous air pollutants that largely go untracked. PSE Healthy Energy’s new Methane Risk Map links methane leak events to modeled hazardous air pollution, helping communities and decision-makers visualize associated health risks.
