The air quality in this region is considered poor. Several studies have been done linking increased rates of lung cancer to these emissions. These large vessels (shipping freighters) rank second only to power plants as to the health risk their air pollution poses. Lynderson and Eilperin(2009) The…

Background: Acidic rain or acid deposition is predominantly caused by air pollution. Acid deposition in the form of gasses and microscopic particles, floating in the air, is called dry deposition. However, wet deposition is in the form of precipitation. As a result of chemicals being released from human productions, great amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are respired into the atmosphere, where rain and gas matter is polluted. Once both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide come in…
