s n n s n is clean now but that was not. always the case of people living on the coast always used to have clean fresh air now it's the other way around it is loaded with. cruise operators have responded to the growing criticism and say their vessels have now become more environmentally friendly but tough they really. it's december he environment on the baltic scene ever since cruise ship companies began offering more when to delist the hobby he is busy even during the cold months . jim and resigned europe's top cruise ship customers with over 2000000 passengers in 2017 and asked the business increases so does the air pollution it causes we 1st visited vandeman dane 2014 when we spoke with local residents like magdalena fleming 5 years on we meeting her again magdalena reaching move to the namenda for the clean air crews operators have been promising ships with keen exhaust fumes for years now we asked magdaléna whether she feels they've kept that promise she certainly said. they haven't gotten any cleaner i'm so angry and this video a little bring it up from time to time and you believe them you think the ships are finally going to get cleaner but then nothing happens simply because the adverse gets all talk. but this is the still the newspapers are full of it but nobody's taking any action of a kind now left us. green boats and their dirty air what a cruise operators doing about it. this is funny shall a port city on monday era in the atlantic ocean just north of the canary islands down here is a popular destination for winter cruises. most passengers on board are german tourists. we asked axel freedom to join us on this trip he's one of the world's leading experts on air pollution. right now he's setting up his instruments to measure the cruise ships emissions. axle fleet and she used to head the department for transport and noise at the german federal environment agency u b a and now regularly advises governments and environmental organizations. like all larger ships cruise liners emit pollutants into the air. the floating hotels need electricity 24 hours a day including when they are at port they get that energy from fuel generators. the cruising line's international association or clear says it has recently adopted the exhaust gas cleaning systems e.g. cns the association has reportedly fitted $111.00 of the $253.00 cruise ships in its fleet with the system. just how effective are the filters to find out of each will be monitoring emissions on 3 separate days. the equipment he uses measures nitrogen oxides salt sulphur dioxide and ultra fine particles. a cruise ship is approaching the harbor is exhaust plume is still only faintly visible axle for a delicious particularly interested in the amount of fine particles it contains 3 cruise ships have now docked at port. even at a distance axel fraser makes a quick mantis able to measure the particulates matter the crew ships a minute but the wind direction keeps changing so he can't say for sure which pollutants the coming from which. the portable device detects 65000 particles that's 3 times more than on some streets in germany where driving has already been banned. but this level is typical for busy small harbors like here. here again there's always room for 3 ships to dark here strongly 3 ships are here but in other courts like barcelona and abroad not good honest is not to 7 ships in dock each day. the cruise industry just not consider a one off measurements like this to be significant yet the cruise operators won't provide us with more detailed information despite our request neither clear nor the 2 big german companies aida and toohey provided us with pollution levels. axletree to face was environment in 2013 to measure the absolution caused by cruise ships for the documentary series 45 minutes his film raised a lot of awareness for the problem. tourists sought out this seaside resort for its clean and that these days even the pedestrian zone has a pollution level similar to a busy traffic intersection. the missiles are fine if we're measuring ultra fine particles that are smaller than 300 not a meters this extremely small matter can penetrate deep into the lungs. in some cases this can have fatal consequences the particles also come from the ship 6 almost 10 engines are pallid with diesel or heavy oil. what kind of fuel is heavy oil. to kill will to police explained it well in 2009 in a documentary find a public pool at constant point from. champs. does he this will this is an english crude oil from the forty's and or crude oil from the north sea. this is the stuff everyone is after on us all their stuff the crude oil contains lots of components each one can be sold that are separately sized that's why crude oil is refined. and it often is that the refinery crude oil gets broken down into its components is there are gas components liquid components and also solid components and at the end of this process and so there's this leftover we hear that it can no longer be refined and it does this is what power ships come on down the trunk ship or does a sort. when i turn it upside down nothing happens that's how dense it is at room temperature it's like a road surface this is the stuff ships run on. no matter whether a ship is powered by heavy oil or diesel exhaust fumes will always contain 4 main pollutants. carbon dioxide the greenhouse gas that majorly contributes to global warming. which you may know from a seed rain it also affects marine life. ringback nitrogen oxides also known as and ex they made headlines during the diesel scandal and are especially harmful to children pregnant women and sick people and finally atmospheric aerosol particles many studies have shown that ultra fine particulates matter is most dangerous and can lead to pneumonia heart attacks and strokes. and as a chemist investigating the effects of fine particulate matter from ship exhaust fumes. in his research he collaborates with other chemists physicians and biologists from the german research center for environmental health and the university of rostock. they use this special method to show how particulate matter is harmful to humans the research is direct exhaust fumes from a ship's engine into their lap and expose it to living. human lung cells. here is the exposure that most experiments to date added the pollutants into a solution and you cells that were also in solution. that's not natural because lung cells are normally exposed. that's their characteristic feature and we managed to simulate that with this machine. here the cells are out of the open so to speak and take in air pollution like real dogs would and. this is to date the closest. research has come to faithfully simulating the impact of ship exhaust on living human cells. you know 35 generally speaking fine particles cause pulmonary information and if you're exposed to particular matter over long periods of time that inflammation can become chronic chronic inflammation can be to cardiac diseases and permanent pulmonary inflammation which in turn can trigger or aggravate diseases like asthma c o p d. d. it's an invisible threat numerous studies have found that her nostrils only catch and filter particles larger than 10 micro meters. fine particles are much smaller than even 2.5 micro meters with no barrier to stop them they can settle deep in our lungs. then they can trigger dangerous inflammation they can even enter our blood stream with severe consequences heart disease cardiac arrest or strokes if the particles reach our brain. simmonds colleagues can identify each individual component of particulates matter in ship's exhaust fumes this lets them determine its precise effect on the human body up until a few years ago research suggested emissions from heavy oil were much more harmful to humans than diesel but more recent studies painted a picture. i mean lets the un feel we've looked at a number of different processes over the past 10 years anything from emissions from car engines to wood combustion this royal chip emissions have been found to have the biggest effect of war regardless of whether they use diesel or heavy oil. in the long run heavy oil has a larger cost an agenda in fact but they both have equally high acute effects. in their lab the scientists can also measure pollutants emitted by ships as seen for this they suck the outside into into the lab on windy days. the instruments are so sensitive that they can pick up pollutants emitted from ever 100 kilometers away. the team uses shipping routes and time tables to determine which vessel it's from. 2019 on the banks of the elbe or in hamburg. axel fatally she's here to measure the pollutant levels emitted by a cruise ship is portable device is ultra sensitive. the senior you are left to 1st find matter in the air here even though the ship was far away when it was passing us the wind blew the other way but even at a distance of one kilo. i still get a reading of over 20000 particles and there's more not region dioxide to about. $20000.00 aerosol particles that's roughly twice the average level in hamburg and the wind wasn't even blowing in the right direction. because no filter the exhaust was being blown to the other side of the other but the people on that bank were exposed to the fumes. magdalena flemming from phantom and continues to worry about health. she suffers from asthma last year alone she saw 199 cruise ships docked here it was nice but i'm not sure if it's still healthy for me here. it's just getting worse. and i'm concerned for my children and my grandchildren. i already have 3 great grandchildren the hips and good. and how ditty is the extreme boats are emitting. this ship chandra tells us that all the cruise ships operated for them always that hit the official regulations in the baltic sea and elsewhere. its shipping company says they are striving to operate their ships a skinny as possible but installing a filter isn't possible for technical reasons. we also spoke with several passengers. well i know cruise ships are dirty but i don't know the exact numbers. but sure they're big polluters to see jobs section or that's really just that one knows that worries me a lot yes but you're still taking a cruise i'm still taking a cruise. in hamburg with some roads have been blocked your car pollution but here in the harbor the ships let their engines run day and night and they're filthy you can see the black clouds above them blast out. oh it's terrible they're from s and s. and it's clean now but that wasn't always the case people living on the coast always used to have clean fresh air now it's the other way around. in the gym and computing center in hamburg researchers have calculated how and pollutants have to spin this through northern germany the results were saying bring. fine particles from ships on the health risks they bring with them have spread across the entire north of germany. and cruise line isn't just making matters worse . i was shocked at how deeply ship emissions impacted areas not directly by the coast yes sometimes the effects could be seen hundreds of kilometers inland functional beach on long island. and we were taken aback when we realized just how much came from ship traffic before we thought sure there are 10000 ships sailing in the north sea but what damage can they possibly do compared to 50000000 cars. but if you look at the pollutants if you added how much is emitted per kilometer per ton of goods. you find it's much h
