LOS ANGELES—The Port of Los Angeles said on Oct. 22 that the cargo surge in 2021 will likely affect air quality and pollution levels at and around the port.
“Operational efficiency benefits both business and the environment,” Port Director of Environmental Management Christopher Cannon said. “The heavy volume of inbound cargo has led to disruptions across the supply chain, and those impacts will be reflected in next year’s [Inventory of Air Emissions report].”
