In addition to the much-publicized environmental impact of CO2 emission by air traffic,
aviation particulate emission also deserves attention. The abundant ultrafine particles in the …

The international airport of Heathrow is a major source of nitrogen oxides, but its contribution
to the levels of sub-micrometre particles is unknown and is the objective of this study. Two …

Despite ample evidence that pollutant emissions from aircraft may cause or exacerbate
human health problems and have considerable environmental impacts, ambient air quality …

The unprecedented growth in aviation during the last years has resulted in a notable
increase of local air pollution related to airports. The impacts of aviation on air quality can be …
