Hagler, G., T. Barzyk, Sue Kimbrough, V. Isakov, P. Gagliano, M. Bergin, D. D'Onofrio, R. Baldauf, AND C. Bailey. Panama Canal Expansion Illustrates Need for Multimodal Near-Source Air Quality Assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 47(18):10102-10103, (2013).
Impact/Purpose:
This is a draft Viewpoints article for submission to the Environmental Science & Technology journal. The goal of the article is to raise a current compelling issue and highlight where research is needed to address the problem.
Description:
The compelling issue raised is potential major changes in goods movement due to the Panama Canal expansion and considerations for near-source air quality. Near-source air quality may be affected both at near-port areas as well as along the freight transportation corridor.
