Biggest source of air pollution in Hong Kong? It’s shipping, not cars, or mainland China




This I did not know. 
That shipping is the greatest source of air pollution in Hong Kong. 
I would have thought the culprits were China factories (notoriously dirty)  or cars (just as in the headline above). 
The good news: straight after Hong Kong forced ships to use low sulphur fuels, air pollutants dropped 30%. So tightening up those restrictions will also have marked effects. Details in the article. 
Said article being a great reference piece.
