Environmental cost and eco-efficiency from vessel emissions in Las Palmas Port
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents external costs and eco-efficiency parameters associated to exhaust emissions in Las Palmas Port. Emission assessment is based on a vessel emissions inventory obtained from the full bottom-up Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model and messages transmitted by the Automatic Identification System over 2011. External costs are estimated based on a top-down approach. Results are combined with port operations profiles resulting in eco-efficiency performance towards economic and environmental concerns in Las Palmas Port. Results could also support the valuation of instruments to abate emissions in crowded port-cities that as Las Palmas, host a large population of residents and visitors. 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The aim of the study was to describe the urinary electrophoretic pattern of dogs with heartworm disease.Urine samples from 15 heartworm-infected and 15 healthy dogs were taken. Urinary specific gravity, urinaryprotein concentration and the urine protein/creatinine (U P/C) ratio were determined. Urine proteins werefractionated using SDS-PAGE. Results showed statistically significant differences ...
متن کاملEvaluating air emission inventories and indicators from ferry vessels at ports
This paper provides an estimation of exhaust emissions released by passenger ferries at the port-level. The methodology is based on the “full bottom-up” approach and starts by evaluating the fuel consumed by marine diesel engines on the basis of its individual port-activities (manoeuvring, berthing and hoteling). Specific air emissions are estimated as regards to the different propulsion source...
