“…Selling to end users was primarily the purpose of the business, yet a significant volume of the UEO ends up in the surrounding environment because some vendors used it as dust suppressants and most times accidentally disposed of directly on land due to spilling or leaking from vehicles or storage facilities as some of the containers were observably weak and had a tendency of leaking (Plates 1 and 2). Similar circumstances were observed in Poland [13] , Ghana [28] , and Burkina Faso [7] . The studies observed that storing UEO creates a fire or environmental hazard.…”

“…It cleanses the components of engines, and internal combustion [5] . With the increasing utilization of vehicles, the demand for engine oil rose to 11.8 billion gallons in 2017, and an expected increase of 0.5% annually [6,7] . Engine or lubricant oil is usually drained out and changed from vehicles and engines after being used for a period of two to five months.…”

“…Although several countries in the world have put in place, policies and plans to manage the disposal of UEO for human safety and the protection of the environment, yet, the inappropriate handling of the UEO and the spatial spots of its vending is a common problem in many African countries [23] . Recent findings in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso exposed the environmental pollution, and occupational health hazards owing to poor management of UEO in auto and motor repair garages [7] . The study attributed the poor management of the UEO to a lack of formal education, dearth of training on handling and disposal of used engine oil, non-use of personal protective equipment when handling the used engine oil, thumbs down in change of clothe after handling the UEO and primitive knowledge of the health and environmental impacts of UEO amongst garage workers.…”

This study examined the effect of mishandling and vending of used engine oil (UEO) on the environment, health, and urban planning. An evaluation of UEO handling, environmental and public health effects, spatial distribution of UEO vendors and contributing factors to choice of location, and the relationship between the vending location and the contributing factors to the choice of the location was provided. The research adopted multiple approaches including questionnaire administration, interview, observation, and application of a Global Positioning System, Geographic Information System, measuring tape, and a camera. An accidental/snowball sampling technique was viable for the study. Data collected were processed using Microsoft Excel. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used. Results revealed the UEO was acquired from mechanic garages (41%) and stored in plastic containers (74%) until it was completely disposed of (91%). 52% had a hazy knowledge of the environmental effect of UEO, yet 45% rated the extent of its contamination as high. 59% were aware of its potential hazard which can get into the human body through ingestion but did not know it could get into the human body through contact with skin (74%) or breathing (61%). However, 84% wash their hands before a meal, with soap/water (67%), and change clothes after handling the used engine oil (69%). Most of the spots were located within 0-20 meters from the road (11), along the highways, occupying the metalled portion of the road, the road shoulders, setbacks, and walkways, blocking drainages and affecting the visual and aesthetic value of the environment. A larger proportion (40) revealed that visibility/accessibility guided their choice of location. Also, a low correlation coefficient of 0.32 was recorded. The study recommended the promotion of awareness programs, enforcement of environmental regulations, good hygiene practices, enforcement of standards and development regulations, and application of smart technology and big data.

“…Le coût moyen de vente de l'huile usée est autour de 50 f le litre. Au Liban, 200 litres d'huile moteur usé sont vendus pour environ 12 dollars américains à un entrepreneur local de collecte des huiles usées qui est responsable du retraitement des déchets en mazout (Naré et al, 2019). Sur la base de l'estimation de 2017, le revenu annuel généré au profit des détenteurs par l'activité de collecte des huiles usées pourrait être évalué à 286 072 972,5 f CFA dans la ville de Ouagadougou.…”

“…Les liens étroits existants entre la santé publique, la pollution et la qualité de l'environnement, ont favorisé la prise de conscience aigüe et généralisée des risques environnementaux et sanitaires causés par les entreprises industrielles (Dongo et al, 2013). La contamination de l'environnement par l'huile moteur usée est courante dans les pays en développement, ce qui pose divers risques pour la santé au travail (Naré et al, 2019).…”

La production des déchets est inhérente aux activités humaines, qu’elles soient domestiques, agricoles, industrielles ou commerciales. A la faveur d’une urbanisation galopante et de ses corollaires, l’assainissement et la gestion des déchets sont devenus des préoccupations importantes. Si la situation de déchets ménagers semble connaître une évolution dans la capitale burkinabé, ce n’est pas le cas pour les déchets des industries et des transports comme les huiles usées. Ce travail avait pour objectif d’étudier la production et la gestion des huiles usées dans la ville de Ouagadougou. La méthodologie de cette étude a été basée sur des observations et des enquêtes spécifiques auprès des groupes cibles. Les résultats obtenus ont montré qu’environ 5 721 459,45 litres d’huiles usée ont été générées à Ouagadougou en 2017. Les huiles usées sont exportées à 11%, utilisées par l’industrie locale à 67% et à 22% à des fins personnelles diverses. Les conséquences sont diverses sur l’environnement. Il apparaît nécessaire vu les différents usages prohibés que le domaine soit mieux réglementé. Waste generation is inherent in human activities, whether domestic, agricultural, industrial or commercial. Thanks to rampant urbanization and its corollaries, sanitation and waste management have become major concerns. While the household waste situation seems to be changing in the Burkinabé capital, this is not the case for industrial and transport waste such as used oils. This work aimed at studying the production and management of used oils in the city of Ouagadougou. The methodology of this study was based on observations and surveys specific to the target groups. The results obtained showed that approximately 5,721,459.45 liters of used oil are generated in Ouagadougou. Used oils are exported at 11%, used by local industry at 67% and 22% for various personal purposes. The consequences for the environment are diverse. It appears necessary, given the various prohibited uses, for the area to be better regulated.
