Short summary

As a least-regulated source, ship emissions contribute significantly to air pollution. We used an air quality model to determine the effects of international shipping on the annual and seasonal concentrations of ozone, primary and secondary components of PM_2.5, and dry and wet deposition of N and S compounds in Europe. The results presented in this paper suggest evolution of NO_x emissions from ships and land-based NH₃ emissions will play a significant role in the future European air quality.
