Air Quality Assessment of Industrial BoilersExhaust and its Impact Upon Workers’ Health

چکیده

Air pollution is a major concern worldwide with human activities being the main contributor and causing serious health impacts. The present study was designed to monitor amount of gaseous pollutants (CO2, CO, SO2, NOX) total suspended particulates (TSP) from different industrial boiler’s exhaust using three fuel types (coal, natural gas heavy furnace oil/diesel). These five parameters were measured compared National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) Pakistan. Coal diesel boilers emitting more SO2 (22x) as gas. producing CO (7x) due inefficient combustion low mixing air into fuel. concentration NOx all boiler within standard value. TSP values ranged 82.3 mg m-3 245.7 m-3, which NEQS limits presence control devices. Workers’ (n=42) assessed questionnaire many workers found be compromised (34 %), while most them either unaware or not provided PPEs (37.5%). Consequently, exposed large amounts hazardous emissions in industry.
