Title

Assessment of Noise, Gaseous and Particulate Emissions in Warri, Nigeria

Pages

  130-136

Abstract

 Background: Warri, the hub of Nigeria’, s Niger Delta Region, has witnessed mass immigration of people since the advent of oil and gas. Therefore, this study examined the impact of Gas flaring in Warri Refinery, Nigeria. Methods: A Noise dosimeter was used to determine the Noise levels at the designated points. Air quality Index was estimated for the concentration of PM10, SOx, NOx, and CO in air measured for three months using standard methods prescribed by USEPA. Results: The Noise level reported 100% compliance with the Department of Petroleum Resources, Nigeria but violated World Health Organisation regulations at 60 and 200m respectively. The average values of PM10 at 60 and 200m from the flare were above the limits while the value at 350m from the flare complied only with the Department of Petroleum Resources regulation. Air quality Index indicated that human exposure to the flared gas at 60, 200, and 350m from Warri Refinery be hazardous and unhealthy for sensitive groups respectively. A close observation of the locals exposes the prevalence of rampant health problems relating to Gas flaring such as skin and respiratory ailments. Conclusion: The results revealed that oil and gas production adversely impacted the environment and also reduced the quality of life and means of livelihood of the people.
