On February 4, 1976, the Secretary of Transportation ordered the FAA to monitor emissions (and noise) at Dulles International Airport. To comply with this order, it was necessary to measure the ambient pollution levels (background) in and around Dulles Airport and to trace the dispersion of emissions from a single Concorde aircraft. While the more conventional background measurements could be easily performed, there was no known case where the vertical and horizontal profile of the emission plume from a single aircraft had been identified. A mobile monitoring program was, therefore, initiated to determine if the emission plume of a taxiing or taking off aircraft could be detected. While Concorde emissions are generally higher than emissions from other aircraft, they become negligibly above background levels within 2000 ft of the taxiing aircraft.
