摘要：The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the oil well drilling process on human health in Hadhramout with emphasis on the following districts: Tarim, Sah, Gail Bin Yamin and Taribah. The number of oil companies have increased in Hadhramout and increased their petroleum activities, –which, in turn, have led to an increase in environmental pollution, especially water pollution, as a result of these petroleum activities. Water pollution has a direct impact on human health in areas close to the sites of oil activities, as well as having negative effects on public health of society specifically, the mortality rates and diseases have increased significantly and unnaturally in these areas. The study has been enhanced by questionnaire survey as a form of quantitative research; therefore this study will be conducted within the districts of Hadhramout governorate. In Hadhramout, most of waste oil is injected into the (geographical) Harshiyat formation which is a very close to the Mukalla formation which contains drinking water. Polluted water with waste oil, may unfortunately contribute in transmitting serious disease and conditions because it contains heavy metals and dangerous chemical substances which are toxic to the environment and water. Most of the Hadhramout residents consume their water from the Mukalla formation; consequently, the quality of water in the Hadhramout governorate has consistently strayed ever farther from acceptable standards, especially in the districts closest to the petroleum activities.
