The duration of use is usually significantly longer for marine vessels than for roadside vehicles. Therefore, these vessels are often powered by relatively old engines which may propagate air pollution. Also, the quality of fuel used for marine vessels is usually not comparable to the quality of fuels used in the automotive sector and therefore, port areas may exhibit a high degree of air pollution. In contrast to the multitude of studies that addressed outdoor air pollution due to road traffic, only little is known about ship-related air pollution. Therefore the present article aims to summarize recent studies that address air pollution, i.e. particulate matter exposure, due to marine vessels. It can be stated that the data in this area of research is still largely limited. Especially, knowledge on the different air pollutions in different sea areas is needed.
船舶的使用时间通常比道路车辆长得多。因此，这些船舶通常由相对老旧的发动机提供动力，这些发动机可能会造成空气污染。此外，船舶所用燃料的质量通常无法与汽车行业使用的燃料质量相媲美，因此港口地区可能会出现高度的空气污染。与大量研究道路交通引起的室外空气污染相比，人们对与船舶相关的空气污染知之甚少。因此，本文旨在总结最近关于船舶造成的空气污染（即颗粒物暴露）的研究。可以说，这一研究领域的数据仍然在很大程度上受到限制。特别是需要了解不同海域的不同空气污染。
