The world ocean fleet consumes around 4.3 million barrels of heavy fuel oil (HFO) daily, releasing large amounts of sulfur-enriched gaseous and particulate pollutants into the atmosphere. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set new sulfur content limit values for HFO under the Global Sulfur Cap 2020 (GSC-2020) program to reduce its environmental and public health impact. This study assesses the environmental benefits of the sulfur content limit values for heavy fuel oil set by the IMO on sulfur emissions, trace element concentrations, and ship related PM2.5 pollution at Paranaguá, the largest grain port in Latin America. X-ray Fluorescence analysis revealed that the concentrations of vanadium (V) and nickel (Ni) in PM2.5 (i.e., finer particulate matter), which are prevalent trace elements in ship exhaust emissions, decreased significantly from 25.4 ng m− 3 and 5.8 ng m− 3 in 2019 to 3.5 ng m− 3 and 2.2 ng m− 3 in 2020, respectively. The V/Ni ratio also changed from 4.3 in 2019 to 1.8 in 2020, suggesting significant changes in the signature of marine vessel emission. Sulfur emissions also decreased, with average concentrations of 2.0 µg m− 3 in 2019 and 1.2 µg m− 3 in 2020. The primary PM2.5 concentration, attributed to ship emissions using V as a tracer, was reduced from ~ 80% in 2019 (mean = 35.8%) to less than 5% (mean = 4.9%) in 2020. Inhalation exposure to V and Ni in PM2.5 showed a decrease in the hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) in 2020 compared to 2019, indicating potential health benefits. Our findings underscore the need for more robust international shipping policies prioritizing health objectives and reducing greenhouse gas emissions concurrently. Despite the significant health benefits associated with the implementation of low-sulfur fuels in global shipping, there remains a need for further investigation into the long-term effects of these fuels on air quality and human health. GSC-2020 limits sulfur in HFO, reducing environmental and health impacts. Paranaguá Port air quality shows global emission changes assessed before and after. GSC-2020. PM2.5 sees lower V and Ni in PM2.5, indicating a marine emission shift. Lower V, Ni, and sulfur emissions reduce global health risks from maritime. pollution. GSC-2020 sets new emission standards, impacting policies globally.

The main objective of this study was to develop a citric acid-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatment to reach the maximum sugar recovery from soybean hull (SH), in the context of a biorefi nery concept. A central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize pretreatment conditions through the analysis of citric acid concentration, time, and temperature effects. Optimized conditions were defined as 3.56% w/w, 46.1 min, and 135.7 °C. From the solid fraction, 99.5% and 83.0% of glucose and xylose conversion, respectively, were obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis. Sugars were fermented successfully to L-lactic acid by Lactobacillus pentosus. In fact, SH hydrolysate presented no trace of inhibitor compounds, and glucose was totally consumed during fermentation. After 24 h of fermentation, a conversion rate of 0.724 g/g of sugars to lactic acid and 80.5% of the stoichiometric theoretical yield were reached. In addition, from the liquid fraction, 47.8 mg/g of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) was produced. This work demonstrates the potential of SH to be exploited as feedstock, with mild and efficient pretreatment process, for medium- to high-value bioproducts production in biorefineries.
