Abstract

This study examined shipping's impact on air and water quality in the Northern Adriatic Sea using high-resolution models. Studied pollutants included cadmium, lead, benzo-a-pyrene, fluoranthene, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter (PM_2.5). Shipping emissions, estimated via the Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model (STEAM), were integrated with land-based emissions to simulate water and air quality using the ChemicalDrift and System for Integrated modeLling of Atmospheric coMposition (SILAM) models. Shipping contribution to water and sediments pollution is concentrated along shipping lanes, especially in early summer. Shipping contributes significantly to SO₂ and NO_x levels near harbours and shipping lanes, while O₃ and PM_2.5 changes affect the entire study area. A holistic evaluation for any management scenario considering both water and air quality will be needed to identify the best strategy to ensure both human health and marine environment protection.

航运活动对北亚得里亚海空气和水质的影响：高分辨率模拟研究

这项研究使用高分辨率模型研究了航运对北亚得里亚海空气和水质的影响。研究的污染物包括镉、铅、苯并芘、氟蒽、臭氧、二氧化硫、氮氧化物和颗粒物（PM2.5）。通过船舶交通排放评估模型（STEAM）估算的船舶排放与陆地排放相结合，使用化学漂移和大气成分综合模拟系统（SILAM）模型模拟水和空气质量。船舶对水和沉积物污染的贡献主要集中在航道沿线，特别是在初夏。航运对港口和航道附近的SO2和NOx水平有显著影响，而O3和PM2.5的变化影响整个研究区域。需要对考虑到水和空气质量的任何管理方案进行全面评价，以确定确保人类健康和海洋环境保护的最佳战略。

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.
