Abstract
Awareness of the need for the protection of environment, living surroundings and health has for some time now been the motivator of a number of development projects with the purpose of reducing negative impacts caused by human activities and development of civilization, or even of advancing favourable circumstances necessary for maintaining a healthy life on earth. Environmental assumptions and requirements have a powerful impact on developmental foundations also in our field of oil recovery and processing. We see the promotion of more recent standards shaped with the purpose of ensuring as low a negative impact as possible of using motor and power fuels on atmosphere, soil and waters. To the extent to which we are using the achievements and the possibilities offered to us by the machinery depriving us of the need to use a part of the living workforce, we are trying to cut down the possible noxious impacts of lubricants for the lubrication of machinery and vehicles on health and environment. Finally, our purpose is to achieve as low as possible an impact of the technology of oil recovery and processing of oil products – fuels and lubricants – on the environment.
