САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

At European level, the EU’s Joint Research Center (JRC) has developed the screening tool SHERPA (Screening for High Emission Reduction Potential on Air) to support decision-makers in assessing the potential to increase air quality through local emission reduction measures. This paper discusses the quantification of emissions and the analysis of the European maritime and road transport sector, evaluating the most polluted areas and the possibility of reducing emissions generated by water and road transport.
