We are pleased to share HEI Energy’s March 2025 Quarterly Research Updates. 

You will find the latest progress from each of our 8 exposure studies in communities affected by oil and gas development. Our program continues to advance in several crucial areas:

HEI Energy is hosting an in-person public meeting and panel discussion for the research team of a recently completed study to share their study design and findings. This event is open to all individuals who may be interested. In 2021 HEI Energy funded independent research on how people in the Northern Front Range of Colorado might be exposed to noise and chemicals from unconventional oil and gas development.

Join HEI Energy on Thursday, February 13, 2025 from 11:00am-12:30pm (EST) for part two in a two-part webinar series on the Tracking Community Exposures and Releases (TRACER) Collaboration to better understand community exposures to air emissions and noise from unconventional oil and gas development in multiple U.S. regions.

Join HEI Energy on January 29, 2025 from 3-4:30 PM (EST) for a webinar titled, The TRACER Collaboration: Community Exposures to Air Emissions and Noise from Oil and Gas Development, Part 1. In part 1 of the two-part series webinar, the TRACER research teams will describe their stationary, mobile, and passive air quality monitoring to estimate community exposures.

We are pleased to share HEI Energy’s December 2024 Quarterly Research Updates. Early in 2025, the HEI’s Energy & Health webinar series will feature research conducted by the TRACER research collaboration in Colorado, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Texas. This initial program of research will be featured at HEI’s 2025 Annual Conference.
