Abstract
Based on the WRF-CMAQ air quality model, quantitatively simulate the impact of the main air pollutant emissions from the ship transportation activities in the surrounding waters on the urban ambient air quality in coastal areas. The results show that in 2014, the annual average contribution rates of NOx, SO2, PM2.5 and PM10 generated by ship activities in coastal areas of China were 5.95%, 2.20%, 1.46% and 1.41%, respectively. The time difference between ship emissions and air quality impact is significant. The average contribution of ships in April and July is about 10% and 3.5%, and the contribution in January and October is only 2% and 0.93%. The contribution rate of ship activities to the annual average concentration in the coastal waters of China is less than 6%. The impact of coastal ship operations on ambient air quality is generally small..
