Purpose

This paper aims to investigate the environmental impact of various pollutant emissions including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxide (NO_x) and hydrocarbon (HC) from aircraft exhaust gases during the landing and take-off (LTO) cycles at Eskisehir Hasan Polatkan Airport, Turkey, between 2017 and 2018.

Design/methodology/approach

The methodology approach used to calculate the emissions from aircrafts is based on the ICAO databank and the actual data records taken from Presidency of The Republic of Turkey Directorate of Communications (DoC).

Findings

The maximum amount of total fuel burnt during the two years is 80.898 and 70.168 tons in 2017 and 2018, respectively, while the average fuel burnt per year from 2017 to 2018 is approximately 369.773 tons. The highest CO, CO₂, NO_x and HC emissions are found to be 248.3 kg in 2017, 261.380 tons, 1.708 tons and 22.15 kg, during the 2018 year, respectively. Average CO, HC, NO_x and CO₂ emissions amount per year are observed to be 1.392 tons, 135 kg, 6.909 tons and 1,143 tons, respectively. Considering the average of total emission amount as an environmental factor, as expected, CO₂ emissions contributed the most to the total emissions while HC emissions contributed the least to the total emissions from the airport.

Practical implications

The study presents the approach in determining the amounts of emissions released into the interannual atmosphere and it explicitly provides researchers and policymakers how to follow emissions from commercial aircraft activities at different airports.

Originality/value

The value of the study lies in the transparent computation of the amounts of pollutants by providing the data directly from the first hand-DoC.

Hasan Polatkan 机场商用飞机污染物对环境的影响

目的

本文旨在研究飞机在着陆和起飞（LTO）过程中排放的各种污染物，包括一氧化碳（CO）、二氧化碳（CO ₂）、氮氧化物（NO _x）和碳氢化合物（HC）对环境的影响。) 2017 年至 2018 年在土耳其埃斯基谢希尔哈桑波拉特坎机场的自行车。

设计/方法/方法

用于计算飞机排放量的方法论是基于 ICAO 数据库和土耳其共和国通信总局 (DoC) 主席国的实际数据记录。

发现

2017 年和 2018 年这两年的最大燃料燃烧总量分别为 80.898 和 70.168 吨，而 2017 年至 2018 年的平均每年燃烧燃料约为 369.773 吨。发现最高的 CO、CO ₂、NO _x和 HC 排放量分别为 2017 年的 248.3 公斤、2018 年的 261.380 吨、1.708 吨和 22.15 公斤。观察到每年平均 CO、HC、NO _x和 CO ₂排放量分别为 1.392 吨、135 公斤、6.909 吨和 1,143 吨。考虑到总排放量的平均值作为环境因素，正如预期的那样，CO ₂ 排放对总排放的贡献最大，而HC 排放对机场总排放的贡献最小。

实际影响

该研究介绍了确定释放到年际大气中的排放量的方法，并明确为研究人员和政策制定者提供了如何跟踪不同机场商用飞机活动的排放量。

原创性/价值

该研究的价值在于通过直接提供来自第一手 DoC 的数据，透明地计算污染物的数量。
