Description

Data set of mass discharge of selected pollutants from shipping in the European region. Created in the framework of the project Evaluation, control and Mitigation of the EnviRonmental impacts of shippinG Emissions (EMERGE).

To determine the mass of discharged pollutants, AIS-based ship emission modelling of discharge volumes is combined with results of water effluent analysis. For the discharge volumes, the Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model (STEAM) is used. The total discharge volume of wastes is comprised of five waste streams: open/close scrubber, grey, black and ballast water. For the content of pollutants in the five waste streams, a bibliographic database of waste stream pollutant concentrations compiled during the project is used.

Notes

To find which chemical species corresponds to each data file according to its name, look at the csv file "chemical_species_ID". This is a beta version. It includes the daily averaged fields of selected pollutants.
