Arsenic release to the environment from hydrocarbon production, storage, transportation, use and waste management

Arsenic (As) is a toxic trace element with many sources, including hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, oil sands, and oil- gas-bearing shales. from these hydrocarbon sources can be released to the environment through human activities of production, storage, transportation use. In addition, accidental release aquifers naturally occurring (geogenic) As induce mobilization groundwater biogeochemical reactions triggered by biodegradation. this paper, we review occurrence in different into environment. We also examine wastes produced water sludge. Last, discuss potential for related waste management, or intentional releases, recycling reuse wastes.
