Abstract
In order to reduce and control air pollution caused by cargo handling equipments in ports, China’s transportation authority has proposed the goal of accelerating the elimination of old high-emission cargo handling equipments. This paper studies and constructs a dynamic method based on the level of cargo handling equipments activity to estimate the emissions of atmospheric pollutants. The results show that in 2017, if the engines of cargo handling equipment are upgraded and comply with Chinese standard Tier III, the air pollution will be significantly reduced. We show the ranking of the emission of air pollution of different type of equipment in ports. The government will make a good decision on air pollution and control with our research results.
Highlights
In order to prevent and control atmospheric pollution, and improve the quality of the atmospheric environment, China is fully implementing air pollution prevention and control measures
Some researchers in the European Union, the United States, and China have done research on emission inventory of air pollution from non-road mobile [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], Tan Hua studied on emission inventory of air pollution from cargo handling equipment in ports [12]
Based on the survey of the quantity and activity level of cargo handling equipment in ports, we develop a kind of dynamic method for estimating the emissions of air pollutions from cargo handling equipment and its engines
Summary
In order to prevent and control atmospheric pollution, and improve the quality of the atmospheric environment, China is fully implementing air pollution prevention and control measures. Some researchers in the European Union, the United States, and China have done research on emission inventory of air pollution from non-road mobile [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], Tan Hua studied on emission inventory of air pollution from cargo handling equipment in ports [12]. Based on the survey of the quantity and activity level of cargo handling equipment in ports, we develop a kind of dynamic method for estimating the emissions of air pollutions from cargo handling equipment and its engines We use this method to calculate emissions for older cargo handling equipment that meets the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Diesel Exhaust Pollutants Used in Non-Road Moving Machinery" (China Tier I, II) (GB20891-2007) [13]. The estimation laid the foundation for the subsequent formulation of government policies in China
