Study of the Emissions from the Fuel Distribution Stations in Drobeta Turnu Severin

Article Preview

Abstract:

A major source of air pollution is represented by the means of transport. The largest share of gases polluting air comes from motor vehicles, mainly due to their large number. Regardless of the type of motor, vehicles pollutes air with carbon and nitrogen oxides, unburned hydrocarbons, sulphur oxides, aldehydes, plumbum, asbestos, soot, etc. But the activity of trading fuels (diesel, gasoline), lubricants, parts, accessories and auto cosmetics (which are sold in fuel sales and distribution units) is another source of environmental contamination. From this point of view we studied some gas stations located in Drobeta Turnu Severin area, the possibility of soil pollution, waste disposal, safety zone and fire security measures. Air emissions, wastewater discharge, safety and hygiene of jobs were also studied.
