Air pollution with oil products in the area of railway tank stops

Abstract

The problems of ensuring safety in the process of fulfilling technical regulations on railway transport at the stop points of tanks with oil products are stated. A basic list of polluting components discharged into the air at the parking of railway tank cars is presented, while priority pollutants are identified. The components that determine the pollution of the railway parking area have been regulated, and the gross emissions have been quantitatively established. The practical implementation of the protection of the air environment of the city of Voronezh is proposed, which implies the removal of stopping points of railway rolling stock, realizing the transit of oil and oil products, outside the residential zone of an industrial city with a million population. This applies to the points of technical stopping of railway tank cars with oil products, both short-term and long-term deployment. It is shown that the inspection and control of specific tank washing points is coordinated by the safety data sheet of the facility itself, which should be included in the category of potentially hazardous facilities.
