RESEARCHES REGARDING THE DISPERSION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS EMISSIONS GENERATED BY TREATMENT AND COATING OF METALS
Abstract
Volatile organic compounds produced by industrial activities are harmful to human health and environment, playing an important role in environment quality, but especially in air quality. The main issues raised by presence of volatile organic compounds in the environment are ozone depletion, ozone photochemical formation at ground level, increased global greenhouse effect, carcinogenic effects, toxic and other health problems. The paper presents a case study conducted at an economic operator dealing with treatment and coating of metals, where the robotic painting plant releases volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere. Measurements of volatile organic compounds emissions were carried out in the painting plant ?s flue, for a period of one year. The main objective of measurements was to perform the dispersion of these gases into the environment by means of dispersion simulation software (AUSTAL View), to establish the extent of pollutant spread and the degree of damage to population in the area under study.
