Synopsis

Diffuse emissions of gaseous compounds from wastewater or process waters in industry, agriculture and waste managementare a marginally recognized and practically few addressed environmental problem. Diverse techniques in the use, storage, transport and treatment of water ranging from open wastewater storage ponds in food processing and agriculture via sewage treatment by intense ventilation up to heat exchange processes in refineries and other industrial plants may be responsible for emissions of volatile compounds. Many volatile or gaseous components liberated from water may be hazardous for human health, some of them may act as reactants in the formation of ozone (e.g. BTEX), others may act as greenhouse gases (e.g. methane). Although fugitive emissions may earn local recognition as they may be responsible for intense odor problems and complaints of residents, the liberation of volatile gases from waters is in overall an uncontrolled and diffuse process, characterized by many small-scale sources that summarize to a global air pollution problem. There is an enormous lack of information on sources, character and quantity of water-born gas emissions. The environmental significance and economic relevance of these emissions are principally acknowledged but quantitatively unknown. This article highlights some aspects of evolution and liberation of gaseous compounds from waters, means to analyze and remote emissions as well as possible strategies for their abatement.
