ARTICLE #3 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Air pollution from ship smokestacks linked to thousands of deaths annually
Environmental Science & Technology

Smokestack emissions from ships cause tens of thousands of deaths each year in the worlds major port cities and coastal areas, according the first study on that topic, which is scheduled for the Dec. 15 issue of ACS Environmental Science & Technology, a semi-monthly journal. The authors say that the number of deaths will continue to climb with trade growth unless remedial action is taken.

In the study, led by James J. Corbett and James J. Winebrake, the authors point out that air pollution from coal-fired electric power plants and motor vehicles has been linked to a range of adverse health effects, including asthma and heart disease. Yet no study has examined the health threats of ship emissions, even though ships emit large amounts of particulate matter into the air along coastal areas.

The researchers analyzed ship emissions health impact, estimating global and regional mortalities by integrating global ship inventories, atmospheric models, and health impact functions. Using 2002 ship inventories, it estimated th
