“…The primary contribution to PM 2.5 was 3.3 ± 1.3 % in MAL, 2.4 ± 0.9 % in PS and 2.9 ± 1.1 % in SF. These values are comparable to those obtained by Cesari et al (2014) for Brindisi (Italy) and Zhao et al (2013) for Shanghai (China) using the same equation and to other works around the world using PMF (Gibson et al 2013;Pandolfi et al 2011). Data of PM 10 collected before 2010 were separated from data collected after 1 January 2010 and the contribution was normalized for the ship traffic during the sampling, in order to better compare the two periods.…”

“…It is a value universally adopted in location with heavy fuel oil burning ship emissions (Cesari et al 2014;Zhao et al 2013). V a is the ambient vanadium concentration (μg/m 3 ); F V, HFO is a term indicating the typical V content (ppm) in heavy fuel oils (HFO) used by vessels: this term depends on the fuel used and it presents a large variability.…”

“…The content of V in the fuel could be obtained from specific data regarding ship travelling in the area or from typical values relative to each typology of ships (Zhao et al 2013). In this work the authors applied the equation (2) to evaluate the contribution to PM 10 : a value of 65 ± 25 ppm was used, as done for the Brindisi harbour (Cesari et al 2014). The obtained PM ship (μg/m 3 ) was converted in percentage dividing for the PM 10 corresponding value and then normalized by the ship traffic (tonnage, in ktons).…”

“…In order to better characterize this factor the V/Ni ratio was , an important contribution of ship traffic was expected. & Another factor was mainly defined by Pb and Zn, which are tracers of traffic emission (Cesari et al 2014), but could also be present in industrial emissions. & The last factor was characterized by different elements, both from crustal (Fe) and anthropogenic origin (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As).…”

Harbours are important hubs for economic growth in both tourism and commercial activities. They are also an environmental burden being a source of atmospheric pollution often localized near cities and industrial complexes. The aim of this study is to quantify the relative contribution of maritime traffic and harbour activities to atmospheric pollutant concentration in the Venice lagoon. The impact of ship traffic was quantified on various pollutants that are not directly included in the current European legislation for shipping emission reduction: (i) gaseous and particulate PAHs; (ii) metals in PM 10 ; and (iii) PM 10 and PM 2.5 . All contributions were correlated with the tonnage of ships during the sampling periods and results were used to evaluate the impact of the European Directive 2005/33/EC on air quality in Venice comparing measurements taken before and after the application of the Directive (year 2010). The outcomes suggest that legislation on ship traffic, which focused on the issue of the emissions of sulphur oxides, could be an efficient method also to reduce the impact of shipping on primary particulate matter concentration; on the other hand, we did not observe a significant reduction in the contribution of ship traffic and harbour activities to particulate PAHs and metals.

“…For example, as seen in Figure 2, the ocean channel is located at the southeastern part of this region, and the marine contribution of sulfates in Hong Kong exceeded 30% under southerly wind conditions. The importance of marine emissions for the sulfate formation can also be found in European cities [20,21]. The sulfate contribution from mobile emissions is shown to be relatively large in this work when compared to another study which used the INTEX-B as the only emission inventory [10].…”

Abstract:In this work, the Weather Research Forecast (WRF)-Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emission (SMOKE)-Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) modeling system with particulate source apportionment technology (PSAT) module was used to study and analyze the source apportionment of sulfate and nitrate particulate matter in the Pearl River Delta region (PRD). The results show that superregional transport was an important contributor for both sulfates and nitrates in all 10 cities in this region in both February (winter) and August (summer). Especially in February, the average super-regional contribution of sulfate and nitrate reached up to 80% and 56% respectively. For the local and regional source category, power plant emissions (coal-fired and oil-fired) and industry emissions were important for sulfate formation in this region. Industry emissions and mobile emissions are important for nitrate formation in this region. In August, the sum of these two sources contributed around over 60% of local and regional nitrate. The contributions from power plant emissions and marine emissions became important in August due to the southerly prevailing wind direction. Area sources and biogenic emissions were negligible for sulfate and nitrate formation in this region. Our results reveal that cross-province cooperation is necessary for control of sulfates and nitrates in this region.
