AIRPORT BLACK CARBON EMISSIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE NEARBY LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Motivation

Black Carbon (BC) is a major component of particulate matter (PM) emitted from incomplete combustion processes. Airports, with their high traffic of jet engines and ground support equipment, are significant sources of black carbon emissions. Monitoring of BC levels at airports is crucial for assessing environmental and health impacts. This application note outlines the use of the Aethalometer for BC measuring at airports, providing insights from concrete case studies.

APPLICATIONS

Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are deep underground to monitor diesel exhaust in mines and at the Base Camp of Mt. Everest to measure the regional pollution of remote locations. Our instruments are used at research stations from the Amazon Jungle to the Sahara Desert; from Spitzbergen to the South Pole. Our instruments are installed in agency stations from San Francisco to Shanghai, from Dublin to Delhi, and everywhere in between. They are used for fundamental research, air quality monitoring, environmental engineering, and other applications.
