Inventorying Airport Air Pollutant Emissions
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents a detailed, accurate method for assessing air pollutant emissions from airport operations for the purpose of environmental assessment. Sources may include commercial aircraft, small general aviation aircraft, military aircraft, ground support equipment, stationary sources, fuel storage, fueling operations, and motor vehicles on the airport property. The methods used to estimate emissions for each of these categories are discussed and delineated. A case study of an inventory for the planned addition of a runway to a medium‐sized airport hub is followed throughout the discussion.
