Air pollution at Heathrow Airport, London, was measured at points where urban road traffic pollution could be separated from the runway and central airport pollution for comparison of traffic and aircraft emissions. Information on maximum concentrations of pollution from aircraft on the takeoff run was gathered by measuring smoke, hydrocarbons, and oxides near the runway. The results indicate that the highest values for emissions come from road traffic and taxiing.
