Abstract

Presented are the results of computation of emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases from civil aircrafts in the first decade of the 21st century (from 2000 to 2012). It is revealed that in 2012 the emissions of pollutants to the atmospheric surface layer were reduced by 22.0–61.4% as compared with 2000, and those of greenhouse gases, by 30.6–62.3%. Environmental conditions in the area of large airports can remain rather strained. It is demonstrated that in 2012 the emissions of the majority of pollutants and greenhouse gases to the upper tropospheric layer increased by 41.9–48.5 and 43.7%, respectively, as compared with 2000. The inflow of gaseous compounds of different types of activity to the atmosphere can increase the total negative effect.
