heal.abstract Aviation is a key element of the modern lifestyle, but its contribution to air pollution is considered significant. In this paper, the contribution of air traffic to air pollution levels in the area of the three larger airports of Greece is examined through the use of the EDMS model. EDMS is a regulatory model proposed by the US EPA for compliance checking of existing or planned airports with air quality limits. To ensure a better understanding of air traffic contribution to air quality levels, the hourly aircraft movements along with the corresponding meteorological data for a whole year, 2009, were taken into account. During this year, the number of aircraft movements was the largest ever recorded, both in Greece as a total and in each of the three airports of this work. Airport emissions calculated by EDMS are found to be in good agreement with emissions monitoring data at AIA as well as with emission results and published data for International Zurich Airport. Concentration results have shown that PM10 and SOx concentrations are well below the limit values, whereas NO2 concentrations exceeding limit value are expected in small areas under specific circumstances, when heavy air traffic coincides with meteorological conditions favoring air pollutant accumulation. en
