Acrolein may be released to the environment in emissions and effluents from its manufacturing and use facilities, in emissions from combustion processes (including cigarette smoking and combustion of petrochemical fuels), from direct application to water and waste water as a slimicide and aquatic herbicide, as a photooxidation product of various hydrocarbon pollutants found in air (including pr...

A health risk assessment for the Lin-Yuan Petrochemical Industrial Complex (LYPIC) in southern Taiwan was conducted in this study. The main aims of the study were to develop an emission inventory for the 21 processing plants in the LYPIC, conduct hazard identification based on the emission inventory, perform an exposure assessment by applying air dispersion modeling to obtain the annual average...

Abstract This study aims to explore the environmental impacts of solid and liquid wastes Petrochemical Industries Complex in Al-Zubair district (southern Iraq) on groundwater areas surrounding complex. The waste emerging from industrial complex is buried soil near factories which has become a major threat area. objectives were determine impact petrochemical level damage caused neighboring as we...

background heat, chemical and organic pollution are three types of environmental pollution, caused by refinery and petrochemical industries. problems caused by hear and chemical pollutants are currently resolved to some extent but organic pollution such as poly aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are still considered as important problems of industry and environment. objectives a laboratory study was ...

BACKGROUND Petrochemical industry is one of the fastest growing industries. This industry has immense importance in the growth of economy and manufacture of large varieties of chemicals. The petrochemical industry is a hazardous group of industry generating hazardous waste containing organic and inorganic compounds. In spite of the present treatment process, the hazardous waste compounds are fo...

In petrochemical analysis it is often not necessary to identify every compound in a sample. The boiling point distribution and group composition, e.g. aliphatic and aromatic groups or straight chain versus branched alkanes determine, to a large extent, the physical characteristics of fuels. The oxygenated group content of a fuel is another important parameter. It is believed that high oxygen co...

inorganic and organic compounds, primarily as a result of human activities. While inorganic pollutants occur as natural elements in the Earth’s crust and atmosphere, human activities such as industry, mining, motorized traffic, agriculture, logging, and military actions promote their release and concentration in the environment, leading to toxicity (Nriagu 1979). Organic pollutants in the envir...
