pollutants into the atmosphere with the high content of volatile hydrocarbon particles that would be providing a constant impact on adjacent forests. Therefore, such sites as pump stations and central oil collection units would provide maximum negative impact on forests caused by volatile hydrocarbon particles.
As mentioned above, according to our data the construction of at least three pump stations and one central oil collection unit is planned for this site. According to some estimates and expert
opinions of our scientists, 20-25 hectares of forest could be destroyed by constant impact provided by volatile hydrocarbon particles around one pump station. The area of volatile hydrocarbon particles’ impact on forests would primarily depend on the
speed and direction of wind, as well as population density and resilience of forests towards such type of impact (see Figure 23).
