| Abstract |
|
Air pollution poses significant threats to public health and the environment, with growing concerns about emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) from ships. In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has designated Emission Control Areas (ECAs) to regulate ship emissions. The Republic of Korea has implemented sulfur oxide emission control areas (Korea SECA) around major ports. However, Korea SECA lacks international legitimacy, making it challenging to enforce regulations on foreign ships. To address this issue, obtaining IMO approval is essential, which requires air quality monitoring and long-term data collection. This study focused on Korea SECA near Gadeokdo Lighthouse in Busan, where air pollution monitoring equipment and an AIS receiver were installed on navigation aids to measure real-time PM concentrations and analyze their correlations with ship activities. Results confirmed that navigation aids could be effectively utilized for monitoring air pollution caused by ship emissions. These findings suggest the potential for evaluating impact of ship activities on air pollution within Korea SECA and provide a scientific basis for securing international recognition of Korea SECA. |
