dc.descriptionKaduna Refinery and Petroleum Company convert crude oil and other liquids into refined petroleum products. These petroleum products are used in our various homes as a source of energy but they can be a threat to human lives and the ecosystem. Gaseous emissions from the combustion of DPK of different volumes from Kaduna Refining were characterized for gaseous air pollutants using the E8500 combustion analyzer. The concentrations for the gaseous emission from the combustion of DPK were 34.92mg/m3 HC, 21.67mg/m3 CO, 89.00mg/m3 NOx for 10 ml. 41.47mg/m3 HC, 33.33mg/ m3 CO, 118.33mg/m3 NOx for 20 ml. 52.3 mg/m3 HC, 49.33mg/m3 CO, 183.33mg/m3 NOx for 30 ml. 50.20mg/m3 HC, 33.00mg/m3 CO, 189.33mg/m3 NOx for 40 ml. 61.12mg/m3 HC, 40.62mg/m3 CO, 199.00mg/m3 NOx, 2.6 mg/m3 SO2 for 50 ml. This study shows that CO and HC exceeded the acceptable limit for stationary sources while NOx and SO2 were below the acceptable limit. Hence, there is a need for rapid response and urgent attention from government and regulatory bodies to put in place policies that will help minimize the effect of these emissions.
