TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 41UDK:656.073.436:665.6/.7628.3:665.6/.7CLASSIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF WASTE OIL IN THE FUNCTION OFSAFE TRANSPORTVladica Čudić 1 , Predrag Petrović 21 Institute <strong>of</strong> Public Health, Avenue Despota Stefana 54a,11000 Belgrade, Serbia, vladica.cudic@zdravlje.org.rs2 Institute <strong>Kirilo</strong> Savic, 51 Vojvode Stepe Street, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia, mpm@EUnet.rsAbstract: Action to reduce waste, either by encouraging material efficiency, reducing the generation <strong>of</strong> waste, orenabling the recovery <strong>and</strong> reuse <strong>of</strong> discarded material is a element <strong>of</strong> sustainable development. Waste oils’ meansany mineral or synthetic lubrication or industrial oils which have become unfit for the use for which they wereoriginally intended, such as used combustion engine oils <strong>and</strong> gearbox oils, lubricating oils, oils for turbines <strong>and</strong>hydraulic oils. All waste oils are characterisated as <strong>dangerous</strong>. It is important to determine what <strong>dangerous</strong>properties the oil possesses.This will ensure that anyone who participates in the transfer <strong>of</strong> waste to be aware <strong>of</strong> all <strong>risk</strong>s <strong>and</strong> liability in case <strong>of</strong>possible accidents on the traffic infrastructure.Waste oil can run the <strong>dangerous</strong> characteristics: ecotoxic H14, H5 Harmful <strong>and</strong> /or H7 carcinogenic, <strong>and</strong> becausethese containers <strong>of</strong> <strong>dangerous</strong> waste must be properly marked, as a basic prerequisite for adequate treatment duringthe operation <strong>of</strong> manipulation.The composition <strong>of</strong> the used oil varies extremely widely depending on the sources, mixes <strong>and</strong> processing that takesplace.This paper presents the results <strong>of</strong> which were conducted in the period since 2003. by 2009. year.The motor oil was mainly contaminated with Pb <strong>and</strong> Zn. The highest concentration <strong>of</strong> metals in used motor oil were4110mg Pb/kg, 1260mg Zn/kg. The highest concentration <strong>of</strong> Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAH) was 148,7mg/kg. In general lead concentrations have decreased (following the withdrawal <strong>of</strong> leaded petrol)<strong>and</strong> there has been a corresponding increase in zinc. This may be due to an increase in the use <strong>of</strong> aluminium-zincalloys in engine componentry. It is also likely that although lead is no longer used in petrol, it will continue to bepresent in used oil, due to its use in engine components.Cars, trucks, agricultural machinery <strong>and</strong> boats require regular replacement <strong>of</strong> oil. Inadequate treatment <strong>of</strong> containersfor storage <strong>of</strong> waste oils in their <strong>transport</strong>, <strong>and</strong> disposal <strong>of</strong> used oil the wrong way, can lead to a chemical accident<strong>and</strong> pollution <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> water.In order to reduce possible <strong>risk</strong>s is necessary classification <strong>and</strong> characterization <strong>of</strong> waste oil, as the basis for theselection <strong>of</strong> the optimal measures to prevent <strong>and</strong> protect people <strong>and</strong> the environment in all phases <strong>of</strong> care for thistype <strong>of</strong> waste.Key words: waste, oil, motor oil, characterisatin, classification, <strong>transport</strong>
