Air pollution near a port oil terminal

Abstract

The paper considers the evaporation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) at a port oil terminal. The experimental data and metrological conditions are examined (air temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind force and direction) on the basis of the transfer operations and the types of oil products. The experimental results are compared with monitoring values, which indicate the ranges in air humidity, wind force, and atmospheric pressure that do not influence the VOC concentration in the environment.
