Abstract
- Impact of aircraft on the atmosphere studied specifically their effect as a source of air and water pollution and how they contribute to the transmission or spread of diseases such as Covid 19. Aircraft engines generate various gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), including around 70% of the exhaust, and water vapor (H2O), which provides about 30%. Lower than 1% of this exhaust is consists of pollutants such as oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), monoxide of carbon (CO), and especially combusted or unburned hydrocarbons (HC), particulate matter (PM), and other components. In addition, many pollutants formed in combustion convert when they are emitted into the atmosphere. All these emissions are a significant source that contributes to environmental pollution. Also, in our current days, we notice the spread of Coronavirus significantly with the increasing cases of travel and movement between governorates and countries, which makes transportation in general one of the causes of its spread as this virus travels through the air and thus affects human health in a very negative way. Statistical analysis of the impact of aircraft on air and water pollution and the problems of COVID 19 have been investigated. With the rapid development of equipment and technologies used in airplanes, and therefore current-days, airport transmission has been widespread attention with a focus on social and economic well-being, environmental activity, and protection towards sustainability.
