Sulfur emissions, a form of pollution, can cause acid rain.

Regulations put into effect in 2020 by the International Maritime Organization required a roughly 80 percent reduction in the sulfur content of shipping fuel used globally.

Sulfate can also contribute to forming other clouds after a ship has passed, which tend to concentrate along maritime shipping routes.
