Project description
Improving the assessment of air quality in and around airports
The aviation sector is the second biggest source of transport greenhouse gas emissions after road transport. In this context, addressing public health concerns about air quality in and around airports is a top priority. The EU funded AVIATOR project will provide enhanced understanding of primary emitted particulate matter and gases and evolution of pollutants in the exhaust plume. The project will develop and deploy at multiple airports a proof-of-concept low-cost sensor network for the monitoring of ultra-fine particle, and gaseous species such as NOx and SOx, across airport and surrounding communities. Working with the public health community, the project will improve guidance on measuring and modelling the impact of aircraft emissions.
