Low-Sulfur Fuel Oil Fails to Solve Port Air Pollution; National Sun Yat-Sen University Discovers Ultrafine Suspended Particulate Matter of Heavy Metals
Although the implementation of the "global sulfur cap" has significantly reduced sulfur oxide emissions from ships, port air has not truly become cleaner. A collaborative study by Sun Yat-sen University and the University of California, Berkeley, found that ships docked in ports still emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides and ultrafine particulate matter containing heavy metals, which may penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstr…
