English B2

Due to the rising environmental awareness and challenges of maritime ports, there is a need to determine the environmental footprint of port activities. This comprises the measurement of air and noise emissions and the water quality analysis in the port area to draw arguments on the impact of rising traffic activities on the environment. The results of this research would enable to indicate the differences and dynamics of port nominal state (no traffic) and high level of demand for port services. Additionally, this research assumes the application of a scientific methodology, which will be selected according to the level of comprehensiveness of the overall work.
