Air Quality and Health Impacts

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a class of air pollutants which are emitted from various sources, such as industries, vehicles, storage and distribution of crude oil products. This study aimed to quantify the emissions of these compounds on the basis of regulatory issuance of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) emission factors considering the sources of emission of a gas fuel supply, which only sells alcohol and gasoline. The total of those emissions amounts to about 22 tCOVs/year. Extrapolation was performed considering that the total number of service stations that sell gasoline and ethanol in the Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo is 2,211 , reaching a total of about 50,000 tCOVs/year only issued for the sale of gasoline and alcohol. It was concluded that these emissions can be considered representative and cause adverse effects on the environment and health with adoption of necessary measures for its reduction and effects. Index Terms - service station emisions, volatile organic compounds, environment impact, atmospheric emissions.
