    Marpol 73/78 is an international convention to prevent pollution from ships, adopted in 1973 and amended in 1978. It aims to protect safety and lives at sea by limiting emissions of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ozone depleting substances from ship exhausts. Annex VI specifically regulates air pollution from ships and is expected to significantly benefit human health, especially for port cities and coastal communities, by restricting five main gases emitted from fuel combustion, which can be analyzed using an Orsat analyzer.

    1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978. ("Marpol" is short for marine pollution
    and73/78 short for the years 1973 and 1978.)
    It is necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of a ship or saving life at sea.
    Annex VI: Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (entered into force on 19 May 2005)
    The regulations in this annex set limits on sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide
    emissions from ship exhausts and prohibit deliberate emissions of ozone
    depleting substances.
    This measures are expected to have a significant beneficial impact on the
    atmospheric environment and on human health, particularly that of people living
    in port cities and coastal communities.
    5 Gases emitted by Fuel Combustion:
    1. Sulphur Dioxide
    2. Nitrogen Dioxide
    3. Carbon Dioxide
    4. Nitrogen Oxides
    5. Hydrocarbon
    Instrument used in exhaust gas:
    Orsat analyzer is a gas concentration analysis tool typically used to manually sample
    CO2, O2 and CO from the flue of a combustion system.
