Use of Isotopic Measurement and Analysis Approach to Uniquely Relate Aircraft Emissions to Changes in Ambient Air Quality

The objectives of Project 33 were to conduct analyses to aid in high precision determinations of community exposure attributable to aircraft and other airport sources, a critical question for interpreting local community concerns and for designing future campaigns. The measurements also facilitated and improved the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to make informed regional management decisions from the higher level of impact assessment.
