How can technology be used to control port air pollution?
Technology can be utilized in various ways to control port air pollution. For instance, implementing shore power systems allows ships to turn off their engines while at dock and connect to an onshore power source, thus reducing emissions. Additionally, the use of cleaner fuels, such as LNG or hydrogen, can help decrease air pollution from ships. Other technologies, such as exhaust gas cleaning systems or scrubbers, can be installed to reduce emissions of sulfur oxides and other harmful pollutants. Monitoring and data collection technologies can also be used to track air quality in and around ports, helping to identify sources of pollution and implement targeted solutions. Overall, technology plays a crucial role in mitigating port air pollution and promoting a cleaner, healthier environment for port communities.
