Contribution of port activity in the atmospheric pollution of Marseille

This paper assesses the contribution of port activities to air pollution in the city of Marseille. This is to locate sources of pollution port and model space, from a geographic information system to determine the distribution of temperatures and breezes thermal compensation in the terminal Joliette. It appears that pollutants port tonnage compete all traffic motorway from Marseille, but focus on a few hundred meters from the wharf. Thermal breezes can carry these pollutants in the lands along the valleys where are concentrated the most built. Moreover, this pollution is felt by people living nearby who do not have accurate measurements. Hence the importance of monitoring this type of pollution for a city like Marseille where it grows close to the city center.
