Abstract

Ship emissions are significant sources of air pollution in coastal areas. To mitigate the impacts of these emissions, China implemented the Domestic Emission Control Area (DECA) policy, which was upgraded to DECA 2.0 in late 2018, aiming at improving air quality in port cities. Quantitating the effectiveness of DECA 2.0 is therefore crucial for future air quality management in these cities. This study employs the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to assess the impact of the DECA 2.0 policy on PM2.5 concentrations in port cities in the Bohai Rim Area (BRA), Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD) of China from 2010 to 2021. Spatial heterogeneity was found in the effects of DECA 2.0 on PM2.5 concentrations: the effect is generally greater in port cities of the YRD. These findings provide valuable insights for air quality management and policy formulation in China's coastal port cities.

期刊介绍: Marine Pollution Bulletin is concerned with the rational use of maritime and marine resources in estuaries, the seas and oceans, as well as with documenting marine pollution and introducing new forms of measurement and analysis. A wide range of topics are discussed as news, comment, reviews and research reports, not only on effluent disposal and pollution control, but also on the management, economic aspects and protection of the marine environment in general.
