- Summary:
- European leaders agreed on 11 December 2020 to reduce the EU's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% below 1990's levels by 2030. Although the aviation industry accounts for about 3% of the total emissions of harmful gases produced by mankind, their concentration in the limited airspace of an airport may have an impact on the surroundings. This means that in addition to knowledge about the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is important to have data about the emitted amounts, propagation, and concentrations of harmful gases like CO and NOx as well as of particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10. This is particularly true over an airport, where it may afect the health of employees working directly on the apron. The airport authority should be aware of the actual amounts and concentrations of harmful emissions within the airport space, making it possible take measures leading to their reduction. Moreover, knowledge of the directions of propagation and concentration of harmful components of aircraft engine exhaust gases may be helpful during the process of designing new airports. This article presents the results of PM2.5 and PM10 measurements taken at selected points of the airport in Warsaw, Poland. Also presented is a model of the propagation of emissions from the engines of aircraft operated at the airport, developed using special software
