Abstract : ABSTRACT. The current sewerage transport system in Jeddah city is a major source of air and noise pollution. The system is based on pumping sewerage from septic tanks into tanker trucks and transport the load to its final destination for discharge. In this work the quantity of gaseous air pollutants and particulate matter (PM), was estimated. The impact of the system on the microbial air quality, and on the noise level in the vicinity of the truck during the pumping process was also evaluated. The study concluded that, the current system discharges 1818 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 1118 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 182 tons of hydrocarbons (HC), 614 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), and 66 tons of particulate matter (PM) to the city air environment. In addition, it causes an increase in the total count of microorganisms in the air. Pumping sewage into tanks also increases the noise level, 20 ft from the truck, by 20 dB(A) on the average.
