The contribution from shipping emissions to air quality and acid deposition in Europe
Article Abstract:
The influence of international shipping emissions on acid deposition and ozone air quality in Europe was examined using a global three-dimensional Lagrangian chemistry-transport model, STOCHEM. Results indicated that the total sulfur deposition from international shipping reaches over 200 mg S m(super -2) yr(super -1) over the southwestern approaches to the British Isles and Brittany. Total sulfur depositions equivalent to precipitation sulfate concentrations of between 2.5 and 25 mu eq L(super -1) is generated across the British Isles by international shipping.

Energy consumption and acid deposition in Northeast Asia
Article Abstract:
Northeast Asia is the most dynamic and diverse region of the world. Increased population and growing economies have resulted in energy consumption totaling 12% of the world and increasing. Fossil fuels will provide much of the energy and emissions of sulfur dioxide will increase accordingly. It is estimated that acid deposition will severely damage the ecosystems without appropriate emission controls.

Environmental benefits of NOx control in northwestern Europe
Article Abstract:
Research has targeted several health and environmental factors which may help set new benchmarks in controlling nitrogen oxide emissions. Protocols established by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe can use these factors to set emissions targets. Although the targets may not be considered feasible, they can provide a framework for assessing reductions.
