Method and device for treating fumes generated during the production, processing and / or handling of products of petroleum origin.

Method for treating fumes generated during the production, processing and / or handling of products from oil heated, such as hydrocarbons, asphalts and bituminous hot mixes, characterized in that implies: - the introduction of said fumes into a reactor where components smoke undergo radical degradation by cold plasma generated in the reactor by introduction of air through at least one dielectric barrier discharge arranged close to at least one of the reactor walls which extend parallel to the flow direction of the fumes passing through the reactor, and - retaining the reaction products generated in the reactor from the free radical entities resulting from the degradation of the components of smoke by means of at least a device suitable trapped.
