Determination and Modelling of Emissions from Aircraft at Kahramanmaras Airport, Turkey

Abstract

Airports are one of the significant sources of air pollutants.  Greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, H2O, O3)  and particulate matter are most known airport originated air pollutant. Human activity has provided additional sources for these and other gases that have greenhouse-gas characteristics. Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide concentration have increased line due to the human activity.

 

Values of air pollutants emissions (CO, NOx, SO2, NMVOC) and specifically three of five natural greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) were estimated from aircraft during the LTO (landing / take off) and other sources at Kahramanmaras Airport for 2015 and 2016 using methodologies of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) by means of Tier approaches in this study. According to these data number of LTO were determined 2330 for 2015 year and 2693 for 2016 year respectively. In addition to this SO2 emissions which occurred during LTO phases were modeled using by MATLAB SIMULINK on air quality of Kahramanmaras Airport. The results indicated that the SO2 emission contribution to changes of concentration was been observed relatively lower and more slowly on   Kahramanmaras city model, while SO2 emission contribution to changes of concentration was been observed more quickly and more based on Kahramanmaras Airport model.
