Short summary

The central position of the Iberian Peninsula with ship traffic between the Americas, Africa, and Europe, combined with the known adverse effects of this sector on air quality, emphasises the relevance of a more detailed study of these impacts in this region. Results showed increased levels of SO₂ and NO₂ near port areas, as well as of O₃, sulfate, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀ over the Iberian Peninsula coastline due to shipping emissions. To study mitigation measures, application is crucial.
