Reducing ship sulphur emissions
cuts these other global health related impacts, too, avoiding
about one - third of the annual cardiovascular disease and lung cancer deaths from shipping
air pollution.
Countries, states, cities, and companies are taking action, partly out of concern
about climate change, but also because such action is in their own economic interest — either directly (through money - saving efficiency measures like LED street lights) or indirectly (by saving lives now
cut short by
air pollution).
