Safety and Environmental Sustainability of Strategic Gasoil Tanks, Affected by Fire and Explosion Incidents in the Oil Facilities of Southern Ahvaz Nader Boveirehi, Mahnaz Mirza Ebrahim Tehrani, Seyed Ali Jozi, Mahsa Bakhshaei Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research, 2024 Background: Incidents involving fire and explosions in storage tanks containing petroleum derivatives pose significant safety and environmental risks. The Ahvaz oil field, ranking as the third-largest globally, features numerous storage tanks for petroleum derivatives, raising the likelihood of accidents and necessitating a comprehensive investigation. Methods: This study aimed to assess the repercussions of gasoline release from two strategically positioned tanks within an oil center in Ahvaz city in the year 1400. The evaluation encompassed two gasoline tanks, one with a capacity of 650 L and the other with 2.3 million L. Numerical calculation methods and the ALOHA model were employed for consequence modeling. The modeling incorporated data on climatic conditions, topographic parameters, geographical characteristics, and tank specifications. The chemical exposure index (CEI) was utilized to prioritize potential health hazards for individuals in the vicinity of the tanks. Results: The findings indicated that, based on the Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPG) criteria, the minimum safe distance for a fire is 28.5 yards for the 650-liter tank and 76.5 yards for the 2.3 million-L tank. Additionally, the toxic cloud radius resulting from diesel release was 61.2 and 136 yards for the respective tanks, putting 19 employees at risk in this area. Thus, the consequences of diesel release from tanks represent plausible and noteworthy incidents that could lead to significant accidents and damages. Conclusion: Assessing the repercussions of diesel release serves as an effective management tool in emergencies involving tanks, facilitating safe and appropriate placement measures.
Study of the Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Contamination in Barnacles and Sediments in Caspian Sea Commercial and Recreative Ports Fatemeh Mirzababaei, Seyed Ali Jozi, Omid Rafiey, Mohammad Ebrahim Ramazani Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2024 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are mutagenic, carcinogenic, and persistent organic pollutants of the marine and coastal environment. No previous research has precisely used barnacles as potential PCBs bioindicators in the Caspian sea. The present survey was done to add the PCBs concentrations amongst the barnacle and sediment samples collected from 5 important Iranian ports besides the Caspian sea. Barnacle and sediment samples were collected from Astara, Anzali, Caspian, Kiashahr, and Chamkhaleh ports. Samples were transferred to the laboratory and analyzed for the presence and concentration of PCBs using GC-MS. Eighty different types of PCB were detected in the examined samples. PCBs concentration ranged from 02.00±00.10 to 53.00±00.60 ng/g. PCB-77 (53.00±00.60 ng/g in Chamkhaleh, 53.00±01.20 ng/g in Caspian, 53.00±02.40 ng/g in Anzali, and 53.00±2.7 ng/g in Astara ports) had the highest concentration in barnacle samples. PCB-52 (53.00±00.70 ng/g in Chamkhaleh port) had the highest concentration in sediment samples. PCB-114 had the lowest concentration amongst the barnacle (02.00±00.10 ng/g in Astara port) and sediment (03.00±00.20 ng/g in Anzali port) samples. This study is the first report evaluating the presence and concentration of PCBs in barnacle in the
