Abstract

Emissions of atmospheric pollutants from ships andharbour activities are a growing concern at international level giventheir potential impacts on air quality and climate. These close-to-landemissions have potential impact on local communities in terms of airquality and health. Recent studies show that the impact of maritimetraffic to atmospheric particulate matter concentrations in severalcoastal urban areas is comparable with the impact of road traffic of amedium size town. However, several different approaches have beenused for these estimates making difficult a direct comparison ofresults. In this work, an integrated approach based on emissioninventories and dedicated measurement campaigns has been appliedto give a comparable estimate of the impact of maritime traffic toPM2.5 and particle number concentrations in three major harbours ofthe Adriatic/Ionian Seas. The influences of local meteorology and ofthe logistic layout of the harbours are discussed.
