Abstract: Anthropogenic aerosols are shown to have a great impact on marine ecosystems and human health, with the shipping industry contributing as a significant source of these\nemissions, and annual growth on the rise. In the marine environment, shipping emissions often dominate atmospheric deposition of sulfur. With around 70% of shipping activity\nbeing carried out within 400 km of the coast, its contribution to atmospheric sulfur is of great interest. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) introduced a regulation on\n01/01/2020 restricting global marine fuel sulfur content from 3.5% to 0.5% w/w. The vanadium/nickel (V/Ni) ratio has been widely used as a marker of shipping emissions, with the range of 2.5 to 4 indicating shipping activity. The regulation has called into question the viability of the earlier use of the V/Ni ratio.
