The study of the health impacts of air pollution is a research project that is being conducted by the Tulsa Air Quality Partnership and the Oklahoma Sierra Club. The study is looking at the health impacts of air pollution from oil refineries in Tulsa. It is using a variety of methods, including air monitoring, health surveys, and medical records, to assess the health impacts of air pollution.

Challenges

The study of the health impacts of air pollution is a challenging project. One of the challenges is that it is difficult to isolate the effects of air pollution from other factors that can affect health, such as smoking and diet. Another challenge is that it can take many years to see the health effects of air pollution.
