With the fast development of seaborne trade and CMAQ was used to estimate the contributions of shipping relatively more efforts on reducing emissions from other emissions from maritime areas within 0–12, 12–50, 50–100 sources in China, shipping emissions contribute more and and 100–200 Nm to PM2:5 concentrations. The results indi- more significantly to air pollution.
