Abstract Emissions from flaring and venting (FV) in oil and gas (O an inverse behavior is found for NO 2. Nitrate aerosol contributions to PM 2. 5 are highest in the Denver basin whereas in the Permian and Bakken basins, sulfate and elemental carbon aerosols are the major contributors. Over four simulated months in 2016 for the entire CONUS, FV contributes 210 additional instances of exceedances to the daily maximum 8‐hr average O 3 and has negligible contributions to exceedance of NO 2 and PM 2. 5, given the current form of the national ambient air quality standards. FV emissions are found to cause over 7. 4 billion in health damages, 710 premature deaths, and 73, 000 asthma exacerbations among children annually.
