English Abstract
They have significant environmental impacts in compare with other industries.
Twenty one different sites inside South of Baghdad /power plant and six sites outside the station have been selected for collecting and measuring samples of air.
In this research, air samples had been taken from stations stacks for evaluation of air pollution in according to Iraqi and world limitations.
This plant has three stations located on the east bank of Tigris River in the industrial district.
The measuring results of the pollutants concentration showed there is significant pollution of suspended particulates inside and outside the stations.
The average values of suspended particulate during the first (winter) and second (summer) seasons were (1641.3 μg / m³ and (2026.9 μg / m³) respectively.
Most heavy metals concentrations such as (Cu, Ni, Zn) had an average values of (2.191 , 2.743, 0.383) and (2.951, 13.00, 1.2298) μg/m³ during winter and summer respectively which exceed the permissible limits.
While (Pb) recorded a higher values of (0.847 μg/m³) and (2.1375 μg/m³) in both seasons respectively.
(CO and SO2) gases concentrations were less than national and world limits.
On the other hand, (CO2) and (NO2) gases exceeded the limits in most sites, where had an average values of (335.29, 1.1814)ppm and (326.33 ,0.577) ppm respectively.
Environmental impacts of cooling water and emissions resulted from the operation Power Plant /South of Baghdad has been studied.
This plant has three stations located on the east bank of Tigris River in the industrial district.
Many samples of cooling water during summer and winter seasons taken from influent and effluent are tested for water quality evaluation in according to Iraqi river disposal requirements.
The results showed that the effluent water temperature reach (39.7°C) in summer.
This is thermal pollution indication.
In spite of moderate values of pH and TDS, higher value (1999 μs/ cm) of Electric Conductivity (E.C) had been recorded in winter.
Observed Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentrations are exceed the permissible limits.
Most dissolved cations are under range, except (Na+1) which reach (400 mg/l) and (330 mg/l) in winter & summer seasons respectively .
Tested samples showed the higher concentrations of heavy metals in winter such as (Pb), (Ni) and (Cu) which had maximum values of (1.5 mg/l) ,( 4.01 mg/l) and (3.45 mg/l) respectively.
While (Zn) recorded its maximum value of (0.288 mg/l) in summer.
