Abstract
The article deals with the dependence between atmospheric air pollution, resulted by the activity of fuel filling stations, and the morbidity of the population at the adjacent areas. The major human health consequences, arising from the inhalation of volatile components of commercial petroleum products, have been analyzed. It has been established that the content of petroleum products in the atmosphere in the zone of fuel filling stations influence exceeds the maximum permissible and corresponding background values. With the help of mathematical analysis it is determined that at these territories the risk for the population to get diseased with respiratory forms of allergy, asthma and chronic respiratory system disorders is higher, as compared with the territories outside the influence of fuel filling stations.
Highlights
According to estimates of the US Environmental Protection Agency, exposure to toxic substances, that pollute the air, every year causes 1700-2700 kinds of diseases [1]
A considerable part of urban air pollutants are released from the territories of reservoir parks of fuel filling stations (FFS) as well as the roadbed and adjoining areas at an altitude of one and a half meters This is the height of human breathing, and people are forced to inhale those substances
In order to collect and analyze medical data apartment buildings in the impact areas of these FFS were divided according to their attachment to medical polyclinics of respective districts
Summary
According to estimates of the US Environmental Protection Agency, exposure to toxic substances, that pollute the air, every year causes 1700-2700 kinds of diseases [1]. A considerable part of urban air pollutants are released from the territories of reservoir parks of fuel filling stations (FFS) as well as the roadbed and adjoining areas at an altitude of one and a half meters This is the height of human breathing, and people are forced to inhale those substances. Improper design and construction of transport systems and fuel filling facilities, poor insulation of reservoirs, emergency situations, violation of rules of technological processes implementation – all of this leads to the release of toxic substances that are dangerous for the workers of FFS and residents of the surrounding areas
