The Iskenderun Gulf is the main industrial and transportation region
affected by the emissions emitted by its eight ports and industrial facilities. The air pollutants generated from vessels in the Iskenderun Gulf by using AIS data was created for the Iskenderun Gulf. In this study, total emissions from vessels were estimated as 2.551 t y–1 for NOx...

Context 1
... Iskenderun Gulf is located on the south side of Turkey and has mainly eight ports such as Limak Port, Petrol Ofisi Pier Port, Yazıcı Port, Gubretas Port, Assan Port, Orhan Ekinci Port, Isdemir Port and MMK Metalurji Port (Figure 2). While the ports on the north side of the gulf execute mostly in liquid cargo handling activities, the ports on the south side of the gulf serve mostly in bulk, general cargo and container (TDGCS, 2019). ...

... Since Turkey does not have its own emission inventory, Entec's, which is accepted to be used in many studies, was also used in this study. 84,[90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98] The last report published by this institution on ship emissions is dated 2010. For the methodology used in the emission calculation applied in this study, the "UK Ship Emissions Inventory Final Report" published by Entec in 2010 was referenced. ...
Yachts emit harmful gases to human health and the environment into the atmosphere and marinas and surrounding vicinity are the most affected regions by these pollutants. This study applied a bottom‐up approach involving emission factors to make an anthropogenic emissions inventory of yachts and to offer solutions for reducing emissions by investigating the NMVOC, NOx, NH3, CO, and PM emissions from 2002 yacht movements between June 1 and August 31, 2019 at Turgutreis D‐Marin in Bodrum Turkey. These emissions are categorized based on yacht operation modes and types. Quarterly yachting emissions are estimated as 3099 tons for NMVOC, 0.003 tons for NH3, 14,526 tons for NOx, 1896 tons for PM, and 15,576 tons for CO.
... The study by Nicolae et al. [2] posits that maritime transportation contributes immensely to air pollution especially in seashore areas. It should be noted that seaports located mostly in urban and close to residential areas are considered as the major sources of environmental pollution affecting air quality with dire consequences on human health (Bermudez et al. [3]; Tokuslu [4]). Cancer of the lungs, asthma, bronchitis, premature death and other respiratory and cardiovascular diseases are some of the health impacts of pollutions at seaports (Tokuslu [4], Eyring, et al., [5]; Song & Shon, [6]). ...
