Permanent monitoring of
typical aviation pollutants
Every day, hundreds of aircraft with tens of thousands of travellers take off and land at BER and burn kerosene both when flying in the air and taxiing on the ground. One of FBB’s principal concerns is to minimise the emission of air pollutants. Nevertheless, the generation of air pollutants cannot be avoided when operating an airport.
Aircraft turbines are primarily responsible for emissions, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, hydrocarbons, soot and carbon dioxide. Other sources of pollutants are ground power units and auxiliary power units, which supply the stationary aircraft with electrical energy, as well as vehicles such as tugs and airport buses. Here, as in the case of the arrival and departure of travellers to BER, electro-mobility will make a significant contribution to reducing pollutants in the long term. The good bus and rail connections to BER will also help to avoid emissions.
