DETERMINATION OF UNFAVORABLE STAGE OF TRANSPORTING OIL CARGOES BY RAILWAY TRANSPORT

The paper gives the results of an experimental study aimed at finding the most unfavorable stage of transporting oil and oil products by railway in terms of the polluting effects of the environment. The study objective is to identify the stage of transporting oil cargo by railway, which has the most negative impact on the environment. The relevance and scientific novelty is in the substantiation of the most unpleasant stage of transporting oil cargoes by railway based on the results of an experimental study of soil samples taken within the boundaries of the transportation. The practical significance of this work is in the quantitative assessment of the polluting effects of oil cargo transportation as a basis for further determining the development of environmental protection measures.
