MONETIZATION OF USED VEHICHULAR OIL: AN ADOPTED MEASURE FOR SUSTAINABLE VEHICULAR OIL DISPOSAL
DRAINED SPENT OIL IN A BASIN TO BE POURED FOR SALE AUTHOR: SARAH NAA MERLEY ATTOH Vehicular Oil, a synthetic lubricant used in automobile engines is one of the very dangerous sources of pollution. Once motor oil is drained from an engine, it is no longer clean because it has picked up materials, dirt particles, and other chemicals during engine operation over a said period. The emission of these chemicals into the atmosphere lead to environmental contamination and which adversely affect human lives and the ecosystem. As a result, The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Ironically, Automotive Engineers in Ghana, commonly known as "mechanics or fitters,...
IMPACT OF IMPROPER DISPOSAL USED OIL IN GHANA
AUTHOR: Tetteh David Emaahi Have you ever thought of the negative impact of improper disposal of used oil? It very shocking to realize people( mechanic,driver, and industrial workers) in this 21st century dispose their used oil improperly. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under its rules and regulations is requires an Environmental Impact Assessment( EIA) for project. The increase in the improper way of disposing used oil in Ghana has compelled the EPA to raised concern toward that action of the people of the country Individuals, ignorantly dump or dispose used oil illegally, especially from vehicles and industrial activities. With the visit to some Mechanic industry and drivers of Accra, Ghana, these were obtained “The used oils are been disposed on the ground to dissolve into the ground. A mechanic stated. Also, one of them said, some people come around to purchase the used oil to eradicate pests and parasites that attack their crops. They stated clearly that thy...
USED VEHICULAR OIL RECYCLING FOR NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION
AUTHOR: ELIZABETH BRAIMAH DATE: JUNE 21, 2024 As the world shifts towards a more environmental conscious future, the need for sustainable practices in every aspect of our lives has become paramount. One often overlooked aspect is vehicular oil disposal. Used vehicular oil, if not disposed off properly can contaminate soil, groundwater, and surface water, causing harm to both human health and the environment. However, proper collection and separation can make a significant difference. Used engine oil collection involves the gathering of the product from various sources, including fuel stations, car repair shops. The exercise is conducted by intermediaries who purchase the oil from garages, nationwide, further selling to some Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified recycling companies. Recycling used engine oil is a critical step in conserving natural resources. The process of refining used oil reduces the need for virgin oil extraction, which in turn ...
BROWN FROM CREATION, DARK AT DEGREDATION.
SPILLED VEHICULAR OIL. AUTHOR: SARAH NAA MERLEY ATTOH. Over the years, Automobile Repair Garages have contributed woefully to land degradation, depleting the soil of its appearance and nutrients. Formed from organic compounds and mineral ions clumped together to form aggregates, the beautiful brownish red soil steadily looses its naturality to the pollution of operations by Automotive Engineers and associates of the engineering field. Potential wastes generated as a result of vehicle maintenance and repair activities, including, used oils, spent fluids, spent batteries, asbestos brake pads and linings, metal machining wastes, spent organic solvents, and tyres, play key role in environmental and human contamination.

A study conducted by a former student of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Accra Polytechnic, (now Accra Technical University) revealed, used vehicular oil contains numerous toxic substances, including polycyclic ...
