Diesel engines emit significant amounts of particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into the atmosphere. They also emit toxic air pollutants that adversely affect human health and contribute to acid rain, ground-level ozone, and reduced visibility. Studies show that exposure to diesel exhaust causes lung damage and respiratory problems. There is also increasing evidence that diesel emissions may cause cancer.

The California Air Resources Board reached a settlement agreement with Wan Hai Lines for $680,750 for violations of the Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth Regulation. The intent of the regulation is to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from ocean-going vessels' auxiliary engines while they are docked at California ports.
