What are sources of port air pollution?

Sources of port air pollution include emissions from ships, which release pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Other sources include cargo handling equipment, such as trucks, cranes, and forklifts, as well as port facilities like power plants and storage tanks. Additionally, port activities can lead to increased traffic congestion and idling vehicles, further contributing to air pollution in and around ports. Efforts to reduce port air pollution involve implementing cleaner technologies, utilizing shore power for vessels, and improving port infrastructure to minimize emissions.
