The research aimed to determine the role of incentives in improving the work performance of the Banias Refinery, by defining the role of incentives represented (job stability, employee involvement, rewards) in improving the work performance of the Ba
nias Refinery, the researcher relied on the deductive approach as a method of thinking, and on the descriptive approach a procedural approach To find out the availability of incentive dimensions at Baniyas refinery. Where the researcher distributed a questionnaire to 350 workers, the study concluded that the lowest mean of the responses of the sample members to the phrases that measure the delegated participation of decision-making workers is 2.43, which is less than the mean of neutrality 3, and moral, meaning that workers do not participate in the discussion of any decision The company issues it according to the answers of the sample members. At lower levels, this affects their performance which is reflected in the performance of the work.
The aim of this study was to estimate the total amount of phenolic compounds of olive
trees leaves (Olea europaea L.) as Biomarker for the assessment of lead air pollution at
Banias area. Olive trees were selected as the predominant species in the
study area. The
samples were collected from 6 locations at different distances from the vicinity of the
Banias refinery (0.1, 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 10) Km. The dominated wind in the region is western -
southwesterly during the winter (March) and summer (September), The control was taken
from an area about 20 km from the refinery to the north-east (al-Qardahah rural).
The concentration of total phenolic compounds (TPC) during the summer was (45.6-70.85)
mg GAE/g dw and in the control (40.4) mg GAE/g dw, and during the winter the content
of TPC was (35.6-52.9) mg GAE/g dw and in the control (25.8) mg GAE/g dw. The
concentration of Lead (Pb) in unwashed leaves during the summer was (0.879 – 2.170)
ppm and in the control (0.005) ppm, whilst during the winter was (0.479-1.023) ppm and
in the control (0.00083) ppm. The results showed significant differences in the
concentration of total phenolic compounds and lead between sites (Anova test). High
concentration of total phenols and lead in the summer compared to values in winter at all
sites (t-test). The results also showed a negative correlation between the concentration of
total phenolic compounds and lead with the distance from the refinery of Banias. Finally,
The results showed that the TPC can be used as biomarker of lead air pollution in Banias
area.
This study determined total quantity and exchangeable form
concentration of zinc and lead in the agricultural soils in the Banias
region. Soil samples collected from five sites from the north-east of the
thermal station.
Uncontrolled disposal of produced water from oil and gas industry in the
environment involves the environmental hazard like contamination soil by NORM and
increase the radiation exposure to terrestrial gamma radiation by workers and public. the
st
udy aims to measure radiation levels in the drainage zone and vicinity in the field of
crude oil storage tanks in the site of Syrian company for oil transport in Banyas. Terrestrial
gamma radiation dose was measured, the values ranged between 0.02 – 0.24 μSv.h-1. The
radioactivity concentrations of NORM were determined for Ra226, Th232, K40 by gamma
spectroscopy using HPGe detector in surface soil samples taken from three sites, two of
them recorded the highest rate of radiation dose, while the third recorded the rate of
radiation background. The Ra226, K40, Th232highestconcentrations in the soil samples were
found to be 210, 213 and 55.9 Bq.kg-1, respectively. Radiation indexes were estimated.
The present results were compared with results published in different countries.
Zeolite bearing deposits were characterized in Banyas region using sample A
(which is a powdered mixture taken from five tuff and tuffite levels) compared with
sample B (which is taken from Basatin Al-Assad site within the studied region).
XRD met
hod showed several zeolite phases in addition to non-zeolite minerals
and volcanic glass. FTIR method revealed a general feature of zeolite groups. DTA
method showed a range within zeolite structure stability. Specific surface area was
measured using BET method giving the value 87m2/g. The range of pore volume
distribution was also calculated with ~40Ǻ, and intermediate pore diameter of ~23Ǻ.
XRD study of the standard sample (B) showed slightly different zeolite phases
from A. FTIR measurement showed same results as in A. DTA plots revealed a high
stability of sample B, SBET of 61m2/g, VP around 40Ǻ and r- at ~25Ǻ.
This research aimed to study some chemical characteristics of rainwater in the region
located at the East of Baniyas area the coastal region of Syria . Baniyas area contain
complex of industrial facilities including oil refinery, electrical power g
eneration station
and oil transportation. pH values, concentration of trace metals (Pb, Cu, and Cd) and major
ions (Ca2+, Mg 2⁺, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺,SO₄2-, NO3⁻, Cl⁻, F⁻) were determined during the period
from October 2012 to May 2013.
Samples were collected from 15 sites differ in distances from the emissions sources.
Most of samples have normal pH value. The pH values decreased while the concentration
of SO₄2-, NO3⁻, and trace metals Pb, Cu, Cd increased significantly by getting closer to
emission source up on 2500m. The changes of the chemical characteristics of rainwater
were significant.
This study aims to identifyzeolite phases within the sedimentary-volcanic deposits in Banyas region because of their scientific and economical interest. A group of samples chosen from different sites in the region were studied using X.R.D instrument
with X-powdersoftware. The studies samples were divided into three groups: Igneous, sedimentary and zeolite deposit groups. zeolite deposit, in turn, were put in two subgroups: a new zeolite and already known zeolite subgroups in other regions in S.A.R. The results of this study are quite new in Banyas region.
Banias River Basin is located in the middle of the Syrian coast between the Joubar and
Merqiah River Basins. Its catchment area is ) 97 ( km2, and its length is ( 24,5) km.
The research aims to get the optimal management of the available and non-ex
ploited water
resources of Banias Spring, using water evaluation and planning system WEAP. Research
methodology based on collecting data and proposing two scenarios, first: storing of Banias spring
water to provide the water requirement of Banias city, Second: replacing Sin Spring in order to
provide Banias Refinery water. The percentage of coverage is about 88% requirement in scenario
of water supply to Banias city, while differentiated during the year in scenario meet the water
requirement of Banias Refinery, which has reached 84% in the first six months and fallen in
October to 52%. Existing wells in the confined aquifer are used to cover the shortfall in the
requirement.

work accidents among workers according to some variables which are
(age differences, professional age, educational differences, the level of
work danger).The sample o
f the study consisted of 200 workers, 120 of
them were exposed to work damages, and 80 workers were not exposed
