MARPOL Annex VI and NTC 2008 with guidelines for implementation. Edition 2023

Книга на английском языке
In the late 1980s, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) started work on prevention of air pollution from ships. These efforts were based on scientific information on adverse effects of emissions to air from a multitude of sources, ships being one of them, on human health and vulnerable ecosystems. This was something of a departure, as IMO's focus, along with that of national regulators and of society as a whole, had previously been on more visible sources of ship-sourced pollution - for example, on oil spills resulting from major ship accidents. The harmful long-term effects of ships' exhaust gases on human health and the environment were not so immediately visible and had not earlier been fully recognized.
