The Grossest Polluters in Transportation are the giant Ocean Going cargo ships, burning the dregs of the Oil Refining process, bunker fuel oil.
Scientists say shipping is one of the largest emitters of sulfur, which causes respiratory problems and acidifies fragile ecosystems. Heavy fuel oil contains 3,500 times more sulfur dioxide than diesel used in cars. The vessels also discharge high concentrations of nitrogen oxides, highly carcinogenic components of smog.
Not a problem if the rest of us in the world are driving EVs powered with electricity from renewable zero emission sources.
