Sažetak
The work considers the differences in the aircraft engine exhaust emissions, as well as the impact of the emissions on the environment depending on several factors. These include the age of the engine, i. e. technical refinement, engine operating regimes at different thrusts during time periods: takeoff, climb, approach, etc. Also, the exhaust emissions do not have the same influence on different atmospheric layers. The pollutants emitted at higher altitudes during cruising have become a greater problem, although the volume of pollutants is smaller, due to the chemical complexity and sensitivity of these layers as compared to the lower layers of atmosphere. One of the reasons why these problems have long remained outside the focus of interest of the environmentalists is that the air transport of goods and people is performed at high altitudes, so that the pollution of atmosphere does not present a direct threat to anyone, since the environment is being polluted at a global level and therefore is more difficult to notice at the local level.
