Article Abstract
Currently, over 80% of the international trade volume is carried by sea. Marked by persistent growth, evident atmospheric impacts, intricate mitigation challenges, international shipping has been recognized as one of the most "hard-to-abate" sectors gathering increasing attention from both academic community and governmental sectors in recent years. Against the backdrop of the ambitious climate and clean air objectives, the quantitative shipping emission characterization, impact assessment and policy effectiveness research are not only fundamental to understand the status quo and ramifications of shipping emissions but also beneficial for future emission regulations. Here, we summarized the achievements in shipping emission modelling and impact research in the past two decades, and identified the challenges lying in the transition pathway towards a clean and carbon-neutral shipping. To address the pressing demand for this, we proposed an innovative framework which aims to facilitate emission abatement. Finally, promising directions for future work were delineated, including the indirect effects of shipping emitted aerosols on the climate, the emissions and impacts of novel contaminants, synergies and conflicts among different emission reduction measures, projections on future shipping emission inventories, Arctic shipping emissions, etc.

Marine vessels play a vital role in the global economy; however, their negative impact on the marine atmospheric environment is a growing concern. Quantifying marine vessel emissions is an essential prerequisite for controlling these emissions and improving the marine atmospheric environment. Optical imaging remote sensing is a vital technique for quantifying marine vessel emissions.

This study assesses the economic and environmental performance of the supply chain of coking coal and solid recovered fuel-an often overlooked component of product life cycles-to fifteen European steel plants, by investigating different input combinations and transport methods across six scenarios including imports from both within and outside Europe via ship, road, rail, and river. Results showed that Pre-2022, abroad coking coal was cheaper than local coal, but in 2022, a sharp rise in global prices was driven by three key factors: the European ban on Russian imports, the continental energy crisis, and global shipping disruptions, rendering local coal cheaper. By 2023-2024, markets stabilized, reverting toward pre-pandemic levels.

The International Transport Forum projected that global demand for transport could triple by 2050, with shipping demand likely increasing even more rapidly. However, most scenarios for the next 20-30 years suggest that current regulatory policies may be insufficient to offset the rise in traffic. Thus, this study evaluates the impacts of shipping emissions on air quality, health, and external costs in the Iberian Peninsula, analysing past (2017), current (2022), and projected future (2050) scenarios.

Heavy metal accumulated in soil pose substantial threats to soil environmental quality and human health. Accurate identification of pollution sources is critical for implementing targeted prevention and control strategies. In this study, 118 surface soil samples were collected from Jiangmen City to examine the concentration, spatial distribution, sources, and health risks of heavy metals in the soil.

Emissions from ships significantly contribute to global air pollution, especially in coastal regions. Marine engines emit high levels of particulate matter (PM), which may contain toxic heavy metals depending on the fuel used. Current regulations on fuel sulphur content (FSC) permit the use of heavy fuel oils (HFOs) only with wet sulphur scrubbers, but do not regulate the PM and heavy metal content directly.
