Aviation emissions’ impacts on air quality larger than on climate, study finds [Institute of Physics, 08/11/19]
New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has quantified the climate and air quality impacts of aviation, broken down by emission type, altitude and location.
The MIT team found that growth in aviation causes twice as much damage to air quality as to the climate.
Writing today in IOP Publishing’s Environmental Research Letters, they examine how this damage can be mitigated, and provide consistent comparative assessments of aviation emissions trade-offs, considering both climate and air quality impacts.
