Abstract Aircraft emissions fall into four categories—noise, surface pollutants, greenhouse gases and end of life waste. Noise is of greatest concern to communities about airports, and has been subject to steadily greater regulation since 1972. Surface pollutants include NOX and particulates, but are hard to separate from the many other pollution sources at airports. Greenhouse gas emissions are of great concern, and are steadily being reduced per passenger mile, but reductions need to be increased because of industry growth. The industry is being increasingly successful in recycling aircraft at end of life, with up to 90% now routinely being recycled, although new materials are creating recycling challenges.
