Abstract
Aircraft engine emissions have a direct impact on air quality in local, regional and global scales. Several studies exhibited extremely high concentrations of toxic compounds (including nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5 and UFP), unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO)) due to airport-related emissions and a significant impact on the environment (Herndon et al., 2008) and health of the people living near the airport. Key variable of local air quality (LAQ and related impact considerations is the pollutant concentration (quantity of a pollutant per volume of ambient air), for which national and global regulations specify limit values.
