Description
Summary:A sustainable approach for protection of the natural environment remains the topic of interest for the developers in the developing countries. There has been a growing concern that development activities have the potential to cause severe damage to the environment. The rapid growth in urbanization offered an ample demand ofvehicles, resulting more fuel consumption. Apetrol filling station (PFS) is the place catering this fuel need. APFS is no doubt a very important facility but it is evinced that it has high potential of hazards, resulting the degradation and contamination of the natural resources and cause hazards like environmental, hydrological, geological and socioeconomic.
