Gizmag Comment Feed: Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars http://www.gizmag.com The Guardian has reported on new research showing that in one year, a single large container ship can emit cancer and asthma-causing pollutants equivalent to that of 50 million cars. The low grade bunker fuel used by the worlds 90,000 cargo ships contains up to 2,000 times the amount of sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles. The recent boom in the global trade of manufactured goods has also resulted in a new breed of super sized container ship which consume fuel not by the gallons, but by tons per hour, and shipping now accounts for 90% of global trade by volume.en gizmag.com Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by SpaceChief http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-108028 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-108028 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:34:03 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Geert Kruiter http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-105766 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-105766 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:48:09 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by BZD http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-102442 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-102442 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:19:13 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Tysto http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-100699 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-100699 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:07:14 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Mattimus http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-98803 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-98803 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:18:07 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Muraculous http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-66967 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-66967 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 11:38:28 -0500 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Hogey74 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-53626 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-53626 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:24:30 -0500 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Darrell Tierney http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-49024 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-49024 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 14:26:42 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by Sam Ballin http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-13807 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-13807 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:21:03 -0600 Comment on 'Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars' by TogetherinParis http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-2065 http://www.gizmag.com/shipping-pollution/11526/#comment-2065 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:03:42 -0500
