Risk Assessment of Gas Station

Abstract

Objective: The report provides an analysis and assessment of gasoline concentration released at different gas stations using various analytical methods. Methods: The analysis incorporates trend analysis, frequency analysis, basic statistics, and interactions affecting the analysis, all conducted using MINITAB. Results: The research highlights the increasing concern over benzene gas emissions, which are considered a significant factor contributing to health diseases and are associated with cancer. The investigations show that benzene, an organic compound, is in high demand and is increasing rapidly because of the increasing production of automobiles and industrial usage. Benzene concentrations measured at gas stations were between 0.143 mg/m³ and 0.536 mg/m³ with an average of 0.106 mg/m³. A key factor in the increasing dangers associated with the release of C6H6 from various sources of C6H6 is the increasing production volume, estimated at 50 million metric tons per year. Conclusion: The data analysis results align with existing literature, showing that excessive benzene emissions can alter air quality and pose health risks. The primary focus of this study was to test and analyze existing data from previous studies using different analytical approaches to assess their impact on environmental health.
