Abstract
In the context of a regional environmental mitigation program of the great metropolitan Casablanca, Morocco, the authors of this paper conducted an evaluation of the air emissions from the operations at the Port of Casablanca. The principal exports include phosphates, minerals, fruits and vegetables. The principal imports include coal, grains, and sugar. Particulate emissions are generated in the transfer of these materials and goods from and to ships. This paper describes an approach to estimate the emissions form the port. This approach includes particulate emissions monitoring and inverse modeling with rigorous data quality assurance and quality control. This resulted in an estimate of 252 tonnes/year of particulate emissions from the port. This information will be integrated into a city wide air quality monitoring and forecasting program.
