The methodology consists of two stages, namely emission inventory and dispersion modelling. To determine the emission inventory and dispersion analysis of the generic airport pollution, FAA Emissions and Dispersion Modelling System (EDMS) is used. For the simulations, Nice Airport was used as a model. Through the use of a geographical information system (GIS), such as ArcView, it was possible to make the entry of emission sources more user-friendly and improve the analysis of emission dispersion.
Preliminary Local Air Quality Study
In this preliminary study we aim to gain experience in local air quality issues by starting to model generic airport and to familiarise with the methodology.
