  1. Studies link #NewMexico #drilling to #radiation, #AirPollution, health risks

    Small towns in the #PermianBasin have become a petri dish for the perils of living amid the nation’s largest #OilFields.

    Jerry Redfern September 15, 2026

    Excerpt: "Among various forms of air pollution, the monitoring station measured #radon and the particles that form from its decay. Data in the study showed airborne radiation levels in #LovingNM rising up to five times normal background levels, depending on wind direction.

    "Since all readings were taken in one spot, the report’s authors said they could not tie the radiation to a single source. But they pointed to the area’s intense #OilAndGas development, which they said highlights the need for follow-up studies.

    "Detlev Helmig, an atmospheric scientist with air quality program Boulder AIR, said,
    'The analyses of our monitoring data provide evidence that oil and gas operations in the Loving area are a likely source of atmospheric releases of #radioactivity.' Helmig was an author on the study and helped set up and manage the original monitoring station in Loving.

    "This small town in the Permian Basin is a petri dish for the perils of living amid the oil and gas industry’s most productive oil fields. Hundreds of active oil wells lie within two miles of Loving and another dozen large processing facilities sit within the same sweep. The smell of raw #hydrocarbons regularly fills the hazy air.
    'It’s pollution,' said Jackie Onsurez, a Loving resident who ran in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor. 'You don’t have to be a scientist to wake up and see it’s brown and it’s not dirt.'

    "The study says radiation sources include oil and gas industry emissions 'such as #GasFlares at active well pads, gas-fired compressors at midstream sites, and produced water ponds.' "

  12. Had #MOT (compulsory #vehicle inspection) for #GolfGTI this week (first one since I got it last year)

    Took slightly longer than my previous #cars - there are twin exhausts and both must be tested!

    Passed with 0 advisories and very good emissions test - only 18ppm of #hydrocarbons which is very good as it means #petrol is being used as much as possible to power the engine rather than going out of exhaust unburned - just as well with price of the stuff at the moment (as well as #environment impact!)

    I fitted new #sparkplugs last November, replaced the air filter and did oil service which looks like it has paid off - am going for 6 month oil changes as widely recommended for #EA888 engine ( helps keep timing chain in good condition longer)

  17. The North Sea is a classic example of a mature hydrocarbon basin. Essentially stated, the large reserves are the easiest to find & are found first. As time goes on further discoveries are increasingly hard to find & at significantly higher cost.

    Anyone who thinks that the North Sea will help give the #UK any energy security needs to do their homework (or could people calling for increased N Sea drilling just perhaps be playing politics?). #energy #hydrocarbons

  22. Why is #BlackRain Falling on #Tehran and What Does It Mean for Health?

    Excerpt: "Toxic Emissions From Damaged #Oil Facilities

    A spokesperson for the World Health Organization, Christian Lindmeier, stated on 17 March that the destruction of #Iran's oil infrastructure released hazardous #hydrocarbons, #SulfurOxides, and #NitrogenCompounds into the atmosphere.

    When rain combines with these #pollutants, it can lead to #ChemicalBurns and #LungInjury. He emphasized the seriousness of the situation and noted that authorities in Iran have urged residents to remain indoors.

    "#BlackRain refers broadly to rainfall contaminated with atmospheric pollutants, explains Farzana Kastury, an environmental scientist at Adelaide University in Australia. Such rain often results from bushfire smoke or the burning of heavy fuels, which are by-products of crude #OilRefining.

    In Iran's case, the black rain likely contains pollutants generated from the combustion of these fuels during fires triggered by missile attacks, including substances such as #acetone, #toluene, and #carcinogenic compounds like #benzene and #methylenechloride ."
