EU Environment Agency: Poor air quality near ports and airports, immediate

People living near airports and ports are exposed to increasingly high levels of air pollution from shipping and aviation, according to a report from the European Union's environment agency.

The agency calls for greater monitoring of air pollutants in these areas.

Aviation and maritime transport are the most difficult sectors to decarbonise, as they remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels. According to EU data, they account for around 8.4% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions.

Maritime transport alone is projected to become the main source of transport-related air pollution in coastal cities by 2030, above air quality levels in major European ports and airports.

"Monitoring air quality in and around ports, airports and nearby cities will become more important in the coming decades. This will help assess the role of emissions from maritime transport and aviation, as well as all related activities," the agency emphasizes.

According to the analysis, Amsterdam and Antwerp have the highest concentrations of NO2, followed by Algeciras, Barcelona, ??Stockholm, Hamburg and Naples. /CNA
