Airport Pollution. A Case Study of 3 Airports

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, language: English, abstract: We analyzed these variations related to communities in the vicinity of the airports. Also, we examined the impact of these pollutants on the morbidity and mortality rate of the COVID-19 virus. Our study shows that: air pollution reduced in communities around the airport during the lockdown and low operations; areas downwind and in the vicinity of the airport recorded high incidence and mortality during the pandemic. These changes in pollution, incidence, and mortality are represented in charts available in the research study. Air pollution is a critical issue in urban cities. While air pollution has been reduced in some cities, its effect on human health is considerable. In this study, data for air pollutants, mainly oxides of Nitrogen and Particulate matter, was observed for variations before and during the pandemic lockdown from three airports in two countries.
