The upstream oil and gas industry in Canada emits about 2000 metric tonnes of benzene to the atmosphere per year. This is a cause for concern because benzene is carcinogenic. Current regulations for benzene emission from glycol dehydration units in this sector are not being enforced due to a lack of suitable emission reduction technique. The problem lies in the fact that the emission comes from a large number of small sources, making conventional technology unfeasible.

加拿大上游石油和天然气工业每年向大气排放约2000吨苯。这是一个令人担忧的问题，因为苯具有致癌性。由于缺乏合适的减排技术，目前针对该行业乙二醇脱水装置苯排放的法规并未得到执行。问题在于排放来自大量小源，使得传统技术不可行。
