“…Air pollution monitoring is a common application field for wireless sensor network (WSN) systems. For example, WSNs are used to assess the impact on the environment of locations, such as mines [ 14 ] and airports [ 15 ], to detect critical events, such as fires [ 16 ], and to estimate their effects, such as the emission release of noxious gases [ 17 ]. The improvement of systems for wide-area monitoring has became a trend over the last few years, thanks to new technologies and miniaturization of components with significant processing power.…”

Northern Italy has one of the highest air pollution levels in the European Union. This paper describes a mobile wireless sensor network system intended to complement the already existing official air quality monitoring systems of the metropolitan town of Torino. The system is characterized by a high portability and low cost, in both acquisition and maintenance. The high portability of the system aims to improve the spatial distribution and resolution of the measurements from the official static monitoring stations. Commercial PM10 and O3 sensors were incorporated into the system and were subsequently tested in a controlled environment and in the field. The test in the field, performed in collaboration with the local environmental agency, revealed that the sensors can provide accurate data if properly calibrated and maintained. Further tests were carried out by mounting the system on bicycles in order to increase their mobility.

“…Encouraged by our developing understanding of road emissions toxicity, concern has developed over the impacts that aviation and other airport emissions could have on human health. In addition to manoeuvring aircraft, auxiliary power units, ground service equipment and ground access vehicles are strong sources of nitrogen oxides (NO x ), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulphur oxides (SO x ) and particulate matter (PM) at airports ( Yang et al., 2018 ; Winther et al., 2015 ; Pirhadi et al., 2020 ; Simonetti et al., 2015 ).…”

Background Inflammation, oxidative stress and reduced cardiopulmonary function following exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) from airports has been reported but the biological pathways underlying these toxicological endpoints remain to be explored. Urinary metabolomics offers a robust method by which changes in cellular pathway activity can be characterised following environmental exposures. Objective We assessed the impact of short-term exposures to UFP from different sources at a major airport on the human urinary metabolome. Methods 21 healthy, non-smoking volunteers (aged 19–27 years) were repeatedly (2–5 visits) exposed for 5h to ambient air at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, while performing intermittent, moderate exercise. Pre- to-post exposure changes in urinary metabolite concentrations were assessed via 1 H NMR spectroscopy and related to total and source-specific particle number concentrations (PNC) using linear mixed effects models. Results Total PNC at the exposure site was on average, 53,500 particles/cm 3 (range 10,500–173,200) and associated with significant reductions in urinary taurine (−0.262 AU, 95% CI: −0.507 to −0.020) and dimethylamine concentrations (−0.021 AU, 95% CI: −0.040 to −0.067). Aviation UFP exposure accounted for these changes, with the reductions in taurine and dimethylamine associating with UFP produced during both aircraft landing and take-off. Significant reductions in pyroglutamate concentration were also associated with aviation UFP specifically, (−0.005 AU, 95% CI: −0.010 – <0.000) again, with contributions from both landing and take-off UFP exposure. While non-aviation UFPs induced small changes to the urinary metabolome, their effects did not significantly impact the overall response to airport UFP exposure. Discussion Following short-term exposures at a major airport, aviation-related UFP caused the greatest changes to the urinary metabolome. These were consistent with a heightened antioxidant response and altered nitric oxide synthesis. Although some of these responses could be adaptive, they appeared after short-term exposures in healthy adults. Further study is required to determine whether long-term exposures induce injurious effects.

“…With the rapid development of civil aviation, pollution also increased, as did the impact on the surrounding environment and region (Ashok et al, 2013;Unal et al, 2005;Woody et al, 2011). These emissions have an adverse effect on the environment and endanger human health; PM 2.5 are harmful to the lungs and heart (Arunachalam et al, 2011), NO X is harmful to the human respiratory system and immune function (Barrett et al, 2010;Simonetti et al, 2015;Song et al, 2015), HC and NO X will further undergo photochemical reactions under strong sunlight, forming highly toxic photochemical smog (Stettler et al, 2011;Yim et al, 2013).…”

This paper aims to study the trend of aircraft emission in China. The multiyear emission inventories of HC, CO, NOX, SO2 and PM2.5 in the period 2010–2030 were developed. Results show that the total amount of all targeted pollutants from China's civil airports climbed from approximately 82407 tons in 2010 to 164275 tons in 2019. It is expected that the total amount of pollutants will reach 400845 tons by 2030. Pollutant emissions had the lowest growth rate in 2019 and the highest growth rate in 2013 (4.1% and 13.3%, respectively). From 2013 to 2019, the rate of increase in airport pollutant emissions began to decline. In 2019, the emissions of HC, CO, NOX, SO2 and PM2.5 are 6251, 53614, 97059, 6248 and 1102 tons, respectively. COVID-19 had a significant impact on airport emissions. By comparing the statistical value and the predicted value of airport emissions in 2020, we found that COVID-19 reduced the emissions of ZHHH and national by 46.33% and 30.45% respectively. In 2019, the East has the highest contribution rate of 27.6%, and Xinjiang has the lowest contribution rate of 3.6%. The emissions of the seven aviation regions were in the order of east > central south > southwest > north > northeast > northwest > Xinjiang.
