Abstract:

This report provides airport industry stakeholders with an overview of what is known and not known regarding the impact of airport activity on air quality and public health. The report begins with a review of air quality standards and regulations. It then focuses on airport air quality issues, including source characteristics and emissions contributions, airport operations, geography, meteorology, mitigation measures, airport emissions and dispersion modeling, air quality measurement capabilities, and aircraft landing/takeoff emissions impacts vs. impacts at cruising altitude. The report then provides an overview of air quality health impacts and risk, followed by a discussion of the industry’s current understanding of airport air quality health impacts. The report concludes with recommendations for future research. Key features of the report include a summary of findings in the form of frequently asked questions and an extensive table summarizing the literature review.
