The Environmental Impact Of Air Pollution By Suspended Particles From Crude Oil

Abstract

There are many problems in air pollution and the deterioration of its quality due to large oil production processes and the burning of associated gas in the oil extraction process, which results in the emission of particulates and highly toxic gases that cause humans many serious diseases. This research represents an applied study to analyze the levels of pollution in suspended particles in the air near the Central Oil Company, resulting from the drilling of oil wells, exhaust emissions of electric generators, transportation and some industrial activities, as well as the impact of flying dust because most sites are affected by flying dust by dust storms. Pollution of the region's air with solid pollutants. The results of this research showed that the air of most oil well drilling sites is polluted with Total Suspended Particles (TSP) by measuring the concentrations of Total Suspended Particles (TSP) in (3) selected areas within the close boundaries of the study area and comparing the measurement results with local and global determinants Permitted to know the environmental impact of drilling oil wells in the spread of air pollutants (TSP) emitted from drilling sites to the surrounding air and with the direction of the prevailing winds.
