3 Introduction 1.1 Project Goal and Overview This report represents the culmination of an extensive effort to evaluate measurement and modeling techniques to better understand their uses and limitations in quantifying the contribution of airports to local air quality. The main goal of the report is to provide airport operators with guidance to combine the use of measurement equipment with air quality models to allow comprehensive quantifications of pollutant concentrations in the vicinity of airports.

6 Guidance for Quantifying the Contribution of airport emissions to Local air Quality • Evaluation of modeling options and their impacts on modeled concentrations; • Adequacy of modeled and measured data to explain seasonal, weekly, and diurnal effects; • Adequacy of modeled and measured data to support regulatory needs and health impact assessments; and • Source contribution assessments. These evaluations were used to develop various conclusions and recommendations which highlight significant findings as well as gaps within the resources available under this project.
