Source apportionment study for Thessaloniki PMF model application Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model a widely used receptor model based on factor analysis which provides a flexible modeling approach using a set of data at a receptor site, to indentify the unknown sources and estimate their contribution 2 Selected sites: port & city center (Town hall) period: selected days from June-July-August & November- December 2011 PMF model analysis for one- year data (June 2011 to May 2012) IN PROGRESS ? ? ?

Source apportionment by PMF model Chemical species data used for PMF analysis: 7 (out of 27 measured) PAHs:, Benzo[b]fluoranthene, Benzo[k]fluoranthene, Benzo[e]pyrene, Benzo[a]pyrene, Indeno[cd]pyrene, Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, Benzo[ghi]perylene. Lighter PAHS were excluded from the analysis because of their volatility 4 (out of 9 measured) ions: NO 3 -, SO 4 2-, Na +, NH 4 + Cl - and Na+ were excluded/ set as weak species respectively because of their large analytical errors. K+, Mg+, Ca2+ ions were excluded as their pair elemental species were used in the analysis (to avoid double counting mass) 13 Metals: Pb, Ni, Cu, V, Mn, Cr, Zn, Mg, K, Ti, Fe, Ca, Al Organic & Elemental carbon: OC, EC. experience obtained from the “Intercomparison source apportionment analysis on Marseille data " was used

PMF results Sampling site: Thessaloniki’s port Sampling site: Thessaloniki’s city center (Town Hall) For the examined period: crustal/road dust source + combustions/central heating source: similar contributions to PM2.5 for both sites (appr.30%) secondary aerosol/vehicles/anthropogenic source contribution: elevated at city center area (51%) mixed sea origin + fuel combustion/ships emissions source contribute at the port area

Emission Inventory for the Maritime and Harbor Activities Emissions (tn/yr)CONOxSOxNMVOCsNH3PM10PM2.5 Passenger ships Cargo ships Tugs Inland waterways Fishing Boats Harbor Operations (loading, unloading, pilling) Vehicles operating in the port Total Most important activities in terms of emissions IN OR NEAR THE PORT:  PM2.5: Ship Hotelling (Cargo ships).  PM10: In-port Processes (loading, unloading and pilling of goods/materials).  SOx, NOx: Ship Maneuvering (Cargo ships); NOx ship hotelling emissions are comparable.  CO, NMVOCs: Ship Hotelling (Ferries). Emissions for the THESSALONIKI STUDY AREA (Reference year 2010)

Source Apportionment for PM10 / PM2.5 Port (Summer 2011)  Road transport: Highest contribution to PM10 and PM2.5 mean concentrations.  Maritime/Harbor activities:  Moderate contribution to PM10 (14%)  Small contribution to PM2.5 (6%) despite the emission contribution being ~35% for PM10 and ~15% for PM2.5.

Source Apportionment for PM10 / PM2.5 Port (15 Nov – 15 Dec 2011)  Road transport and Central heating: Equal contribution to PM10 levels (~30%).  Central heating: Highest contribution to PM2.5 levels.  Maritime/Harbor activities: Small contribution to PM10 and PM2.5. ~20% for PM10 emissions~10% for PM2.5 emissions

Source Apportionment for PM10 / PM2.5 City Hall  The contribution of the Maritime and Harbor activities is very small.

With a View to the Future…..

26 Mitigation Measures in the Future 1.Cold ironing (zero ship hotelling emissions). 2.Use of chemical wetting agents to control the storage pile emissions (-90% of piling emissions).

PORT  CAMx: A) Moderate to small contribution to PM10 (~15%) and PM2.5 (~5%) in summer, B) Small contribution to PM10 (8%) and PM2.5 (3%) in winter.  PMF: contribution to PM2.5 (~22%) CITY HALL  PMF & CAMx: Very small contribution to PM2.5 (<5%) both during summer and winter. Existing discrepancies because of: Two different approaches that identify emission sources that partly match CAMx Maritime/Harbor sector = Ships + (un)Loading of goods + Vehicles/Machineries (possible underestimation of emissions) PMF Marine sector = Ships + Sea Salt (possible overestimation due to the identification of contribution from sources other than ships) OVER THE SEA (CAMx results)  High contribution in summer: Up to 50% for PM10 and more than 50% (up to 75%) for PM2.5.  Moderate contribution in winter: Up to 20% for PM10 and PM Conclusions – Contribution to PM levels

1.In the year 2020, projected maritime/harbor emissions show:  Small increase in PM10 (~ +10%)  Very small decrease in PM2.5 (~ -1.2%)  Important decrease in SO2 (~ -65%)  Moderate to important increases in CO, NOx, NMVOCs. 2.Mitigation measures like Cold Ironing and the use of Chemical Wetting agents to control the storage pile emissions are expected to decrease by:  - 50% PM10 and PM2.5 emissions in and near the port area  -23% PM10 and -9% PM2.5 over the whole Thessaloniki study domain. 28 Conclusions - Future Emissions
