Abstract
The Val d'Agri area (southern Italy) hosts one of the biggest onshore European reservoir
and the largest oil/gas pre-treatment plant, named Centro Olio Val
d'Agri (COVA), located in a rural/anthropized context. Several hazards are
associated with this plant. These are mainly represented by possible impacts
of the COVA atmospheric emissions on the local air quality and human health.
This work uses a novel approach based on the integration of air quality
measurements from the regional monitoring network, additional experimental
measurements (i.e. sub-micrometre particulate matter (PM1) and black
carbon (BC)) and advanced statistical analyses to provide a preliminary
evaluation of the Val d'Agri air quality state and give some indication of
specific areas potentially affected by COVA hazards. Results show that the
COVA plant emissions have a particular impact on the air quality of the
area closest to it. In this area several pollutants specifically related to
the COVA combustion processes (i.e. nitrogen oxides, benzene and toluene)
show the highest concentration values and significant correlations. The
proposed approach represents a first step in the assessment of the risks
associated with oil/gas exploration and pre-treatment activities and a
starting point for the development of effective and exportable air quality
monitoring strategies.
