UAV-Based Gas Sensor Systems Help Enforce & Control Air Pollution from Ocean-Going Vessels
  • Room: Virtual
  • Session Number:3418
Ocean Going Vessels (OGV's) are significant air pollution sources. OGV fuels are largely to blame. Under an international convention (MARPOL) certain sea areas (ECA's) are designated where only low sulfur fuels are allowed (or high sulfur fuels if the OGV has scrubbers). Public health experts estimate the lower sulfur caps... read more...
