Human Health Risk Assessment for Petroleum Refining Industry of the Remaining Air Toxics after MACT I Emissions Reductions

Roa, Nadia C. 07 August 2008 (has links)
Inhalation risks on human health for hazardous air pollutants emitted from MACT I petroleum refining industry were determined using EPA HEM-3 Program. Methodology included compiling vertical and fugitive emissions from 2002 National Emissions Inventory for sources inside two facilities in Louisiana, 'Motiva Norco' and 'Valero St. Charles' refineries. Six cases were modeled applying EPA criteria, where cancer risks are 'low' if the probability is. 1/1, 000, 000, and non-cancer risks are harmful when hazard quotient is > 1. It was demonstrated that fugitive emissions have more impact on human health than the verticals because of their significant portion of the total refining emissions. HAPs can cause moderate adverse effects in humans living nearby refineries, as 113 people resulted in high risk of respiratory problems with Valero emissions, 4571 people resulted in 'moderate' risk of getting cancer with Motiva emissions, 2702 people with Valero emissions, and 11, 282 people with both refineries' emissions.

Flying Wing Drone Impact Study / Kollisionsstudie flygande vinge

Nilsson, Sara January 2021 (has links)
The Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS) is exploring how small, remotely launched drones can help in making the rescue work safer and more efficient. The planned drone to be used for such purposes is a 1 kg, 1 m wide, foam constructed, flying wing drone. Aviation regulatory authorities are however struggling with the problem posed by balancing the benefits of unmanned aerial vehicles (UASs) with the safety risk posed to manned aircraft, people and structures on the ground. A risk assessment framework called Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) states specifications on risks that a certain operation can generate. An impact study was requested from SSRS as the purpose of this master thesis, to make sure the drones will not cause danger to other aircraft in the same airspace. SSRS needs to know how dangerous their drone is according to the regulations and how they can improve the design. A literature study was made to determine the critical scenarios for the UAVs area of application. A mathematical collision model was developed where the properties of the flying wing were considered to determine the energies involved. The results provide limits for when a small flying wing poses danger in its area of operation. The results also shows the effects of having a crumple zone included in the construction. A crumple zone only makes a difference when colliding at lower speeds. For the future, a combined model for the UAV to be used with the collision object would provide more accurate results since they affect each other in the collision. / Sjöräddningssällskapet (SSRS) undersöker hur små, fjärrstyrda drönare kan göra deras räddningsarbete säkrare och effektivare. Den planerade drönaren som ska användas för sådana ändamål är en 1 kg, 1 m bred, skumkonstruerad, drönare av typen flygande vinge. Luftfartsmyndigheterna strävar efter att balansera fördelarna med obemannade flygfordon (UAS) med säkerhetsrisken för bemannade flygplan, människor och byggnader. En riskbedömningsram som benämns Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) anger specifikationer för risker som en viss tillämning kan generera. En konsekvensstudie vid kollision med drönare begärdes från SSRS som syfte med detta examensarbete. Detta för att säkerställa att drönarna inte kommer att orsaka fara för andra flygfarkoster i samma luftrum som deras UAV ska användas. SSRS behöver veta hur riskfylld deras drönare är enligt riskspecifikationerna och hur de kan förbättra sin design. En litteraturstudie gjordes för att bestämma de kritiska scenarierna för deras drönares tillämpningsområde. En matematisk kollisionsmodell har utveklats som tar hänsyn till drönarens material och konstruktion och hur det påverkar de involverade energierna. Resultaten sätter gränser för när en liten fjärrstyrd drönare kan utgöra fara i sitt användningsområde. Resultaten visar också effekten av att ha en deformationszon på drönaren. En deformationzon visar sig, bara göra skillnad i kollisioner vid låga hastigheter. För framtiden skulle en kombinerad modell för den UAV som ska användas med kollisionsobjektet ge mer exakta resultat, eftersom de påverkar varandra i kollisionen.
