From page 21...
... • Broader Engine Emissions Database – Studies to correlate aircraft engine emissions to engine age and maintenance history (critical role for airlines) – Studies to correlate fuel composition to PM production – APU emissions database for PM – Role of lubrication oils in aircraft PM emissions • PM Evolution Studies – Measurements – Modeling  Link emissions datasets to local and regional air quality models – Laboratory simulations • Develop Means of Estimating Relative Contributions of Aircraft and Other PM Sources to Airport PM Inventory – Inputs to models for PM inventory predictions focused on coupling operations to emissions data and on a systematic study of the PM emissions of the most advanced turbofan technology, GSE, APUs, and piston-engine aircraft – Evaluation of aircraft PM emissions data to possibly develop chemical or other markers or fingerprints for aircraft – Size number, mass, and compositional studies for aircraft brake and tire PM emissions, including possibly markers or fingerprints – Size number, mass, and compositional studies for other airport sources, particularly GSE and APUs, including possibly chemical or other markers/fingerprints • Methodology Development – Measurement methods for volatile PM properties to be developed (density, evolution, and sampling system, etc.)
