Understanding the complex spatio-temporal relationships between environmental pollution and disease and identifying exposures to environmental hazards in high-risk populations are essential elements of an effective environmental and public health management program. Modern computer technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), provide cost-effective tools for evaluating interventions and policies potentially affecting health outcomes. Military activities during the occupation and subsequent liberation war at 1991 caused direct and indirect damage to Kuwait's environment and ecosystems. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide a powerful tool in managing and analyzing spatial data. It has been applied successfully to large variety of fields, one field of particular interest is the field of disaster identification and mitigation represent in the impact of hydrocarbon pollution on soil degradation in Burgan oil field, South Kuwait. It is well understood that hazard identification and land management play a major part in the reducing the impact of natural disasters. This is a role GIS is well suited to especially when combined with field investigation work .This study highlights the high level achievements of the environmental assessment for the oil contaminated status in GC32 pipe line dry oil lake and wet oil lake, Burgan oil field, state of Kuwait by using GIS application and field investigation including soil sampling, logging in order to determine the magnitude of damage, mapping present day contamination boundaries, extent of contamination and volume of contaminated soil in the area of study. In fact, the study clearly indicates that the problems persist even after 25 years although the lakes
Major oil spills and soil contaminations attracts the attention of its great effects on the Environment elements water, soil and air important part of the spill is to reduce the risk of oil spills, time and effort is highly appreciated in clean up procedures. In march 10 1991 more than 700 oil wells have been damage by Iraqi troops in Kuwait,71,428,571 tons of oil expelled on land and sea of Kuwait .low cost of cleanup contaminated Raduhtain oil field soil was implemented the authors introduced and used washing the contaminated soil by date seeds technique. This work deals with the treatment of oil-contaminated soil, by using different concentration of date seeds. Soil washing is one of the sustainable technologies at present to remove oil from soil. From lab test, it seems to be an excellent way to treat contaminated soil. Samples of soil and wastewater were taken and analyzed in order to evaluate TOC concentration and removal value. The original TOC values of control water samples in (day 1st, day 3rd and day 5th) are (319925, 319896, 319680, µg/g) respectively. The experiment with 50g date seeds in (day 1, day 3 and day 5) shows the result are (275285.7, 98714.29, 91642.8, µg/g) respectively. Whereas with 100 g date seed with 100g in (day1, day 3, day 5) the TOC concentration is (289428.57, 249642.9, 71714.29, µg/g) respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
