Guidance for Quantifying the Contribution of Airport Emissions to Local Air Quality

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 71: Guidance for Quantifying the Contribution of Airport Emissions to Local Air Quality addresses procedures for using air quality models in combination with on-site measurement equipment to prepare a comprehensive assessment of air pollution concentrations in the vicinity of airports.

The report is designed to help airports respond to regulatory needs, including those of the National Environmental Policy Act, and generate information desired by local communities as they seek to develop more detailed local air quality assessments.

ACRP Report 71 also provides information on the capabilities and limitations of modeling and measurement tools and describes how to use available models, in combination with potential on-site monitoring programs, to conduct air quality assessments.

Information on monitoring campaigns and modeling assessments is included in a set of appendices that are integrated with the printed version of the report in CD-ROM format.

The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image. Links to the ISO image and instructions for burning a CD-ROM from an ISO image are provided below.
