By Timothy Butler

Drilling of well was discovered around two thousand BC and which was used to generate saltwater. Until now, that technique is still useful even at this modern period since many industries now are venturing on oil, water and electricity. Furthermore, the products that were being generated are also useful for it could also drive the community. It certainly is beneficial to humanities, however, people still must maintain the safety of a working place so that the workers will not be harmed by some physical hazards whenever they work on compliant gas flares.

As mentioned above, the society needs those oils. And to acquire that, of course they would do some techniques like drilling on wells. However, the operation can be risky. For that reason, flaring is applied in which it burns those waste gases using a combustible device. It keeps the tool and also the people safe while operating. Aside from that, it reduces the waste gases which could be a contaminant in atmosphere.

The waste gases that were being incinerated are those air contaminants. Though it still releases the contaminants, it still helps in reducing it and making it less toxic. Anyhow, it cannot still protect the environment at all. No matter how it reduces the amount of the contaminants, it does not erase the fact that it releases those toxic.

Some might say they certainly require it for protection and safety. But you cannot always rely on it because danger might occur unexpectedly. What would happen if it suddenly malfunctioned? It would certainly be a dilemma. Furthermore, these statements below are also the reason.

First of all, this method discharges methane which is a greenhouse gas. You know how it could harm this planet. It takes in the heat of the sun which causes the atmosphere to warm. For that reason, this could certainly contribute the risk of global warming, which is really dangerous.

Two, it actually can harm the humans as well. Whenever there are residents near that well that being flared, they will surely experience some negative effects from it. Those could be nausea, loss of coordination, dizziness, vomiting and headaches. Some victims also reported that it can cause lung and skin problems when being exposed too much.

Third, agriculture will suffer from that. Acid rain happens and sometimes the cause of that came from gas flaring. You know how acid rain can be dangerous because it acidifies the lakes and the soil. It ruins the vegetation and depletes the nutrients from the soil. Crops will grow unhealthy or die from it.

Four, pollution is the product. As many people keep on promoting a safe and clean environment, it seemed it would not work if this flaring will continue. Water surfaces will get affected because of muds and oils coming from drilling. Most importantly, the air will as well be polluted.

Some may find this method unnecessary. But maybe other technologies there can be a good alternative for this equipment. Furthermore, people should find another way in which the environment as well as the humans will not be harmed.
