Abstract

ABSTRACT:




Air quality was studied in Gerga sugar factory to assess and evaluate pollution levels that are generating from sugar manufacturing process. Pollution levels of NOx, SO2, CO, CO2 and THC gasses and particulate matter were detected and determined. Also, associated parameters of meteorological conditions such wind speed, wind direction, temperature and pressure were evaluated. This was done using the mobile monitoring unit. The mobile monitoring unit is a mobile laboratory with rapid response instruments for real-time measurements of gasses and particulate distribution and emission source characteristics.
The results showed that air quality in Gerga sugar factory has been affected from total hydrocarbons and sulfur dioxide gases that exceeded the acceptable levels. As, for particulate matter, it is considered the worst pollution problem in the core of the sugar factory and neighbouring colonies. In general we can say that Gerga Sugar factory affects the air quality with a limit range of pollution.
لقد تم دراسة جودة الهواء في مصانع السکر بجرجا والأماکن المجاورة لها، من خلال تنفيذ برنامج متکامل لقياس ترکيزات أکاسيد النتروجين والکبريت والکربون والهيدروکربونات الکلية، وکذلک قياس الأتربة العالقة في جزئيات الهواء وذلک من مصادر الانبعاثات المختلفة بالمصنع، کما تم قياس العوامل الجوية المصاحبة لعمليات القياس والمؤثرة فيها مثل سرعة الرياح، واتجاه الريح، ودرجة الحرارة، والضغط.
وقد استخدم لذلک سيارة القياس المتنقلة وهي مزودة بأجهزة تحليل عالية الدقة وبرامج کومبيوتر متطورة لقياس التغير في ترکيز الغازات الملوثة وتوزيع الأتربة والخواص المختلفة للانبعاثات.
  وقد أوضحت نتائج الدراسة الخاصة بمراقبة جودة الهواء بمصانع سکر جرجا أن ترکيز الغازات الملوثة والمنبعثة من المصنع مقبولة في حدود المستويات المسموح بها ماعدا الغازات الهيدروکربونية وثاني أکسيد الکبريت حيث تعدت ترکيزاتها المستوى القياسي بحد غير صحي داخل المصنع ومستعمرته السکنية.
أما بالنسبة للجزيئات الصلبة العالقة في الهواء فقد وجد أن أقل درجة ترکيز لها في جميع مواقع القياس تعدى المستوى القياسي المسموح به بحد غير صحي داخل بيئة العمل.
وقد وجد من نتائج القياسات والفحص الميداني أن مشاکل التلوث تنحصر في قلب المصنع والمناطق المجاورة، وعليه يمکن القول أن مصنع السکر بجرجا يؤثر على جودة الهواء داخل المدينة والتجمعات السکنية المحيطة بمقدار غير محسوس.
