ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF OIL REFINING COMPLEXES ON THE WATER QUALITY OF SURFACE AND UNDERGROUND WATER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF RISKS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
Wastewater from large oil refining enterprises, polluted with specific compounds, getting into surface and underground water sources, can affect water quality, sanitary living conditions and water use of the population. The results of the study indicate that the water quality of surface and underground water sources located in these areas is characterized by unfavorable organoleptic indicators, a high concentration of oil products, alphamethylstyrene, benzene, isopropylbenzene, toluene, and hydrogen sulfide. When using groundwater for household needs, there is a risk for developing adverse effects on certain organs and systems.
