1. Why does air pollution from Port is a big issue.
Air pollution is is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulates, or biological materials that cause discomfort, disease, or death to humans, damage other living organisms.
Air pollution from port is a big issue because:-
The economic benefits of marine ports are typically accompanied by signify-cant environmental and public health problems. Hundreds of enormous diesel-powered ships, millions of diesel trucks, and other polluting equipment and activities at modern seaports cause an array of environmental degradations that, when uncontrolled, can severely affect the health and quality of life of residential communities, as well as marine and land-based wildlife throughout region. Among the environmental harm caused by pollution from marine ports are a significant increase in regional smog, contamination of nearby bodies of water, introduction of destructive invasive species, increased cancer and other health risks for nearby residents, and blight on local communities and public lands.
Air pollutants emitted from port-related activities adversely affect the health of port workers, as well as residents of nearby communities, and contribute significantly to regional air pollution problems. The health effects of pollution from ports may include asthma, other respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and premature death.
The larger contribution of port sources to air pollution can be
