Modeling and analysis of aviation emissions impacts on local air quality

Air transportation growth has rapidly increased over the years and notable influences of aviation emissions on local and regional air quality as well as on climate are identified. The environmental impacts of atmospheric emissions from aircraft have been addressed in two separate ways ; aircraft pollutant emissions occurring during the landing and take-off (LTO) phase (local pollutant emissions), and the non-LTO phase (global/regional pollutant emissions). Aircraft pollutant emissions are an important source of pollution and directly or indirectly harmfully affect human health and ecosystems. In this work harmonized methodology for emissions estimation as well as recent estimated emissions for Croatia will be presented in relation to European and global trends. The WRF-Chem model is applied with modified aviation emissions in order to calculate local air concentrations of CO2, PM10 and SO2 around the Zagreb airport in Croatia. The EMEP model is used to estimate the background contributions with several different emission scenarios. The management of air quality have to include major sources within the urban area and the application air quality models is essential in identification of environmental impacts.
