Air pollutants
Published20.08.2021
As a result of various onboard combustion and energy transformation processes, ships emit various air pollutants into the atmosphere. The main ones are sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO). In 2018, air pollutant emissions produced by the maritime transport sector in the EU represented 24% for NOx, 24% for SOx and 9% of PM2.5 as a proportio ...
