        June 4, 2019 Transport & Environment | Europe | fossil fuels: emissions

The top European cruise ship company emitted about 10x more sulphur oxide (SOX) in 2017 than did all of Europe's 260 million cars. Spain, Italy, and Greece suffered the most SOX air pollution. SOX emissions produce sulphate (SO4) aerosols that increase human health risks and acidification of terrestrial and aquatic environments.
