Description: Port pollution control refers to a set of regulations and practices designed to mitigate the negative environmental impact that port activities can generate. This includes managing gas emissions, reducing solid and liquid waste, and preventing spills of hazardous substances. The importance of this control lies in the fact that ports are critical points of industrial and commercial activity, where large volumes of maritime and land traffic are concentrated. Loading and unloading operations, the use of heavy machinery, and the transportation of goods can significantly contribute to air, water, and soil pollution. Therefore, implementing effective pollution control measures is essential to protect public health and the environment. Strategies may include adopting cleaner technologies, implementing environmental monitoring systems, and promoting sustainable practices among companies operating in the port. Additionally, pollution control in ports also encompasses collaboration between port authorities, local governments, and environmental organizations to develop policies that encourage sustainable and responsible port development.
