Purpose

This study aims to present the impact of using leaded avgas in piston-prop aircraft, in Turkey.

Design/methodology/approach

Increasing air traffic directly increases the total amount of consumed aviation fuels (kerosene or avgas). The number of aircraft and traffic that will increase soon will further increase fuel consumption. For this reason, aircraft power generation methods (long term) must be changed or the fuel must be improved (short term). The avgas used in piston-prop aircraft is known to contain lead and as a result, the production or consumption of avgas has adverse effects on human health, the ecosystem quality and resources.

Findings

The overall human health impact, ecosystem quality impact and resource impact in Turkey were determined to be 2.83 disability-adjusted life years, 1.21 × 10⁻⁰⁴ species.yr and $138, respectively. According to the results, although the normalized total effect of Turkey was calculated as 208.18 nkg, 43.89% of the total was observed in the Marmara region.

Originality/value

The originality is the use of real-time values for all calculations. For the purpose of showing the most impacted or damaged regions in Turkey via a life cycle analysis, a new definition, the normalized total effect in nkg, is defined in this study.

在土耳其使用含铅航空汽油造成的铅排放

目的

本研究旨在展示在土耳其的活塞螺旋桨飞机中使用含铅航空汽油的影响。

设计/方法/方法

增加空中交通直接增加消耗的航空燃料（煤油或航空汽油）的总量。即将增加的飞机数量和交通量将进一步增加燃料消耗。为此，必须改变飞机发电方式（长期）或改进燃料（短期）。众所周知，活塞螺旋桨飞机中使用的航空汽油含有铅，因此，航空汽油的生产或消费会对人类健康、生态系统质量和资源产生不利影响。

发现

土耳其的总体人类健康影响、生态系统质量影响和资源影响分别为 2.83 残疾调整生命年、1.21 × 10 ^-04物种.年和 138 美元。根据结果​​，虽然土耳其的归一化总影响计算为 208.18 nkg，但在马尔马拉地区观察到了总影响的 43.89%。

原创性/价值

独创性是在所有计算中使用实时值。为了通过生命周期分析显示土耳其受影响或破坏最严重的地区，本研究定义了一个新的定义，即标准化总效应（nkg）。
