How does air quality monitoring help airports create a safe and comfortable environment for passenge

Airports are major emission sources, with aircraft, ground vehicles, and other activities contributing to air pollution. Monitoring helps quantify the contribution of airports to ambient air pollution and plan mitigation measures. Continuous air quality monitoring enables real-time tracking of pollution levels and allows airports to take proactive steps to manage emissions. For example, they can optimize runway utilization based on aircraft emissions and regulatory limits. Monitoring air quality helps airports comply with regulatory standards set by bodies like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). ICAO regularly tightens emission standards for each new generation of aircraft.
