“…Maritime transport is the source of waste and pollution entering the seas and oceans in a direct way. Proper waste management on board ships is extremely important for the protection of marine ecosystems [ 15 , 75 , 76 ]. Waste generated by ships under MARPOL (The International Convention for Prevention of Marine Pollution For Ships) and the EU Directive 2000/59/E, followed by the Directive 2010/65/EU and currently in force DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/883 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 17 April 2019 must be disposed of to the Port Reception Facilities [ 77 ].…”

“…Recycling of end-of-life vessels is performed mainly in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, China, and Turkey. According to data from 2016, 35%, 30%, 22%, 9%, 3.7% of the gross tonnage of recycled vessels (GTRV) were placed in facilities located in these five countries, respectively, and merely 0.3% of the GTRV underwent recycling in other countries of the world [ 15 , 75 , 95 ]. When dismantling the vessel, the following on-board hazardous substances constitute a particular hazard for the environment and human health: asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), glass fiber, solid foam, and waste oils [ 93 ].…”

The article presents a comprehensive and cross-cutting review of key marine waste issues, taking into account: sources, fate, risks, transport pathways, threats, legislation, current challenges, and knowledge gaps. The growing amount of both human-created waste in seas and oceans and waste reaching marine ecosystems from land is one of today’s challenges for the global economy and the European Union. It is predicted that if no decisive steps are taken to limit the amount of this type of waste, there may be more plastic waste than fish in the oceans after 2050. The influence of microplastics and nanoplastics on living organisms remains undiagnosed. Within the international and EU law, solutions are being developed to properly manage waste on board ships and to reduce the impact of processes related to the recycling of the vessels on the environment. Currently, over 80% of ships are dismantled in the countries of South Asia, in conditions that threaten the environment and the safety of workers. After World War 2, large quantities of chemical weapons were deposited in the seas. Steel containers with dangerous substances residing in the sea for over 70 years have begun leaking, thus polluting water. For many years, radioactive waste had also been dumped into marine ecosystems, although since 1993 there has been a total ban on such disposal of radionuclides. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on marine waste generation has also been presented as a significant factor influencing marine waste generation and management.

“…Satellite monitoring can not only reflect the current surface conditions from time to time, but also monitor pollution problems in the ocean. Eronat [21] pointed out that in order to detect pollution in time, the use of satellites is necessary to monitor the bay. Aliyu & Botai [22] collected urban features through satellites and effectively assessed the content of certain gas components in the urban atmosphere.…”

Air pollution originating from anthropogenic emission, which is an important factor for environmental policy to regulate the sustainable development of enterprises and the environment. However, the missing or mislabeled discharge data make it impossible to apply this strategy in practice. In order to solve this challenge, we firstly discover that the energy consumption in a factory and the air pollutants are linearly related. Given this observation, we propose a support vector regression based Single-location recovery model to recover the air pollutant emission by using the energy consumption data in a factory. To further improve the precision of air pollutant emission estimation, we proposed a Gaussian process regression based multiple-location recovery model to estimate and recover the missing or mislabeled air pollutant emission from surrounding available air quality readings, collected by the government’s air quality monitoring station. Moreover, we optimally combine the two approaches to achieve the accurate air air pollutant emission estimation. To our best of knowledge, this is the first paper for monitoring the air pollutant emission taking both a factory’s energy consumption and government’s air quality readings into account. The research model in this article uses actual data(10,406,880 entries of data including weather, PM 2.5, date, etc.) from parts of Shandong Province, China. The dataset contains 33 factories (5 types) and we use the co-located air quality monitoring station as ground truth. The results show that, our proposed single-location recovery, multi-location recovery, and combined method could acquire the mean absolute error of 8.45, 9.69, and 7.25, respectively. The method has consistent accurate prediction behavior among 5 different factory types, shows a promising potential to be applied in broader locations and application areas, and outperforms the existing spatial interpolation based methods by 43.8%.

“…One of the world's largest ship breaking yard is situated at Alang-Sosiya (Latitude: 21.423987°N, Longitude: 72.210799°E) Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, India ( Patel et al., 2014 ). Dismantling of heavy ships round the year generates a massive amount of hazardous petroleum products, PAHs and heavy metals that continuously gets augmented into the ocean and coastal sediments, posing a huge threat to the marine flora and fauna ( Barua et al., 2018 ; Eronat et al., 2019 ). The contaminants are also found to be harmful to the worker's health who are exposed to this environment ( Hossain and Islam, 2006 ).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) remediation has received considerable attention due to their significant health concern and environmental pollution. However, PAHs contaminated sites also contain indigenous microbes that can potentially degrade naphthalene. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate, characterise and optimise process parameters for efficient naphthalene degradation. A total of 50 naphthalene degrading bacteria were isolated from Alang-Sosiya ship breaking yard, Bhavnagar, Gujarat and screened for their naphthalene degrading capacity. The selected isolate, Pseudomonas sp. strain SA3 was found to degrade 98.74 ± 0.00% naphthalene at a concentration of 500 ppm after 96 h. Further, optimisation of environmental parameters using one factor at a time approach using different inoculum sizes (v/v), pH, salinity, temperature, carbon and nitrogen source greatly accelerated the degradation process attaining 98.6 ± 0.46% naphthalene degradation after 72 h. The optimised parameters for maximum naphthalene degradation were pH 8, 0.1% peptone as nitrogen source, 8% salinity and 1% (v/v) inoculum size.
