- Abstract
Enviromental protection and preservation of human environment have recently become one of the most important parts of scientific advanced research. Since they primarily resolve the issues of pollution from shore, today the attention has been focused to the pollution from ships. Air pollution is a serious problem for both human health and the overall ecosystem. Emissions from ships include air pollutants, greenhouse gases and substances that destroy the ozone layer with the consequence of endangering human health and the environment. Emissions of sulfur (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which causes acidification adversely affects the environment and human health. Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from tankers, combined with nitrous oxide, participate in the formation of ground-level ozone, which adversely affects the health and the environment. Air pollution knows no borders and it is one of those areas that require the highest level of international cooperation. The reason for the intense need for a solution to this problem is the growing increase in air pollution emissions form ships because the emissions of stationary plants significantly reduced the adoption of various environmental laws. This problem has priority, so the international and national regulations on emission limits from ships in some countries, have been adopted especially those which are exposed to more emissions from ships, which are closer to the sea waterway.
