Abstract
This thesis focuses on the predicted environmental impact due to emissions and air pollutants
resulting from planned airport operations, as airports are one of the important sources of pollution
because they produce a lot of emissions. According to WHO guidelines, emissions of gaseous
pollutants in and around airports are expected to increase in line with the projected growth in air
traffic. This research focuses on four main pollutants, which are taken into consideration, as the
levels of their concentrations in the air determine the level of pollution. They are Nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Solid particles less than 10 microns
(PM10), whose emissions affect the environment and its various elements such as air, water and
soil. The environmental diffusion of these pollutants seriously contributes to climate change, and
thus significantly affects human public health. The analysis depends on the application of the
descriptive and analytical method on a case study developed at the new Sphinx International
Airport that serves the city of Giza, Egypt. The theoretical part reviews previous studies in the
field and the impact of air pollution as a global problem and on health and air pollution resulting
from transport in general and air transport in particular. And the types of air pollutants, measuring
devices, air dispersion modelling programs and the inputs of these programs in order to extract the
most important determinants, measurement methods and relevant legislation from local or
international laws and recommendations issued by the relevant authorities in the aviation industry
as well as environmental affairs so that these laws and recommendations are used in analyzing The
results and an indication of the extent of the air quality by measuring the concentrations of different
pollutants in the air.
This research also contains the monitoring and measurement of air pollutants in the area in which
the airport will be established, as well as weather forecast data, calculating the expected air traffic
according to the airport operator, as well as aircraft emissions, in addition to implementing
atmospheric measurements for all the data necessary for the emission dispersal modelling mapping
program. This is useful for predicting pollutant concentrations from all activities at the airport.
This research has found that the levels of emission concentrations in the airport area are acceptable
and below the maximum permissible limits. However, emissions from some specific sources will
be much lower if mitigation measures are implemented. Other sources will increase emissions with
less mitigation capacity. By way of comparison between the results of actual analyzes of aircraft
emissions and energy consumption, a different effect was found on the vicinity of the airport. To
ensure that the results of emissions analyzes comply with national and international standards,
recommendations are also proposed. This study indicates that the most important measures should focus on mitigating emissions during the operational phase.
