Abstract |
|
Concentrations of benzene and phenol were determined
in effluents from four petroleum based industries
coded as KP, TL,OL(I) and OL(II), using GC/mass
spectrometer. The average concentrations of benzene
in effluent samples of KP, TL and OL(II) were
0.48ppm, 0.59ppm and 0.50ppm respectively, and that
of phenol in OL(I) and TL were 3.84ppm and 4.13ppm
respectively. The values obtained were found to be
higher than EPA standard limits.
Keywords:
effluents, carcinogenic, gas chromatography/mass
spec., pollution, environment, benzene, phenol.
