Air Traffic Emissions
Data bases, models and simulations - a requirement for a future reduction of pollutants emissions
Scope
A prevailing environmental factor today is the pollution of the atmosphere with traffic exhaust emissions. A major focus is put on the aviation industry. Although the aviation emission are comparably small in relation to emissions from road traffic and industry, aviation emission occur in very sensitive regions of the atmosphere. The global distribution of these emissions is assessed using special simulation models for pollutants emissions.
Our Experience:
 
The EU-R&D project ARTEMIS (2000-2004) improves the data base of emission sources
The EU-R&D project TRENDS (1998-2001) developed a data base model for the generation of environmental indicators for the traffic
The Thematic Network AERONET (1998-2003) supports the scientific dialogue in all areas concerned with the effects of aircraft emissions.
The update of the UNECE Emissions Inventory Guide Books based on data from the MEET project (1999)
The EU-R&D project MEET (1997-1999) developed methods to estimate exhaust emissions from road traffic
The consortium EMCAL (1997-2001) developed a method for exhaust gas assessment for the town-ECAC
The COST 319 Activity (1993-1998) harmonised the assessment methods for traffic exhaust emissions
Our Services:
