废曲轴箱油 (WCO) 是在换油过程中从发动机中去除的油，经常被丢弃到环境中，导致水生和陆地生态系统污染。在一些发展中国家，这种常见的危险材料没有得到适当的管理。在乌干达，人们对其产生、利用和处置知之甚少。通过对坎帕拉地区 379 个汽车修理厂和 109 个加油站的机械师样本进行深入访谈，对这些因素进行了调查。研究区内大部分车库（94%）和加油站（96%）提供换油服务。平均而言，每个车库每周生产 62 升 WCO，每个加油站每周生产 134 升 WCO。在车库里，35%被出售，16%倒在地上，18%被车主拿走，31%免费赠送。在加油站，49%被私人收藏家采摘，27%被出售，4%倒在地上，2%被烧毁，13%被车主带走，6%免费赠送。 WCO 的用途包括涂覆屋顶木材和栅栏柱、用于木材切割、标记游乐场以及动物害虫防治。其处置方式包括焚烧和倾倒在环境中。缺乏适当处理 WCO 的政策和信息导致了 WCO 管理不善。
Waste crankcase oil (WCO), the oil that is removed from motor engines during an oil change, is frequently discarded into the environment, resulting in pollution of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In some developing countries, this common hazardous material is not properly managed. In Uganda little is known about its generation, utilization, and disposal. These factors were investigated using in-depth interviews of a sample of mechanics from 379 motor repair garages and 109 fuel stations in the Kampala district. Most garages (94%) and fuel stations (96%) in the study area offered oil-changing services. On average, each garage produced 62l, and each fuel station produced 134l of WCO per week. In garages 35% was sold, 16% poured on the ground, 18% taken by vehicle owners and 31% given away for free. At fuel stations, 49% was picked by private collectors, 27% sold, 4% poured on the ground, 2% burnt, 13% taken by vehicle owners, and 6% given away for free. Uses of WCO included coating roofing timber and fencing posts, use in timber cutting, marking play grounds, and pest control in animals. Its disposal involved burning, and pouring in the environment. Lack of policy and information for proper handling of WCO contributed to the poor management of WCO exhibited.
