13 04 03* Bilge oils (petroleum products) from other types of shipping
The problem of bilge oils (petroleum products) is relevant in the modern world. Bilge oils are formed as a result of the operation of ship engines and other mechanisms that use petroleum products. During the operation of ships, there is a need to regularly clean the holds from these wastes. However, the problem is that bilge oils are dangerous for the environment and human health. They contain toxic substances that can pollute water, soil and air. In this article, we will consider the problems caused by bilge oils, their impact on the environment and human health, as well as ways to reduce this damage.
Bilge oils (petroleum products) are formed as a result of the operation of engines and other mechanisms on ships. They are the remains of oil and its processing products that accumulate in the holds of ships during operation. These wastes include lubricants, fuel oils, lubricants and other petroleum products that fall into the holds of ships during operation.
One of the main problems with bilge oils is their high toxicity. They contain heavy metals, organic compounds and other harmful substances that can negatively affect the environment and human health. During the discharge of bilge oils into water or soil, these substances can enter water resources, polluting them and creating a threat to living organisms.
Another major problem is that bilge oils can contain fuel oil residues that are very difficult to biodegrade. This means that they can remain in the environment for a long time, creating a constant threat to ecosystems.
A pity for the environment and people
Bilge oils (petroleum products) cause significant damage to the environment. They can pollute water, soil and air, creating a threat to ecosystems and the health of living organisms.
Water pollution is one of the biggest problems associated with bilge oils. When oils are poured into water, they form an oil film on the surface of the water, which prevents the access of oxygen to aquatic organisms. This can lead to the death of fish and other aquatic inhabitants. In addition, the oil film can spread over long distances, contaminating large areas of water resources.
Soil pollution is another serious problem. Bilge oils can enter the soil during discharges or emergency leaks. They can penetrate soil layers and reach groundwater, contaminating it. This poses a threat to agricultural land and drinking water.
Air pollution is also a problem associated with bilge oils. During the evaporation of oils, harmful substances enter the air, which can pollute the atmosphere and pose a threat to people's health.
Pity for people
Bilge oils (petroleum products) can cause significant harm to human health. They contain toxic substances that can enter the body through air, water or food.
Inhalation of bilge oil fumes can lead to problems with the respiratory system, such as asthma, bronchitis and other diseases. Toxic substances contained in oils can irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and cause inflammatory processes.
Contamination of water resources with bilge oils can lead to the ingress of toxic substances into drinking water. Drinking such water can lead to poisoning, problems with the digestive system and other diseases.
Contact with contaminated soil can also be dangerous to health. Toxic substances can penetrate through the skin and enter the body, causing various diseases.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the damage caused by bilge oils (petroleum products), it is necessary to apply effective methods of environmental management of hazardous waste. An important aspect is the correct collection, sorting, crushing and processing of waste.
Operations for collecting, sorting, crushing and processing hazardous waste bilge oils (petroleum products) are critical to reducing their impact on the environment. It is important to use modern technologies for cleaning holds and waste treatment (R9). This makes it possible to reduce the risk of water and soil pollution.
Transportation of hazardous bilge oil waste (petroleum products) must be carried out in compliance with all environmental norms and standards. It is important to ensure safe transportation of waste to avoid accidental leaks and environmental pollution (R13).
Methods of environmental management of hazardous bilge oil waste (petroleum products) from other types of shipping include the use of special installations for cleaning water and soil from petroleum products. This allows reducing the concentration of toxic substances in the environment and providing safe conditions for people to live.
