Abstract

Air pollution caused by the pollution emissions from ships is a serious environmental problem, especially in the areas of equatorial waters and inland waterways. Currently more than 96% of vessels are equipped with diesel ship power plants as the propulsion engines, so the constituents formed in the process of fuel oils burning can contaminate the environment.
