TRB will conduct a webinar on Wednesday, December 12, 2018, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that features a research from the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)'s WebResource 4: Airport Air Quality Resource Library, Research Report 185: Airport Air Quality Management 101; and Report 135: Understanding Airport Air Quality and Public Health Studies Related to Airports.

Airport operations generally contribute to local and regional air quality.  However, there are uncertainties in quantifying emissions, especially from aircraft. This webinar will describe what is currently known about the potential impacts of airport activities on local and regional air quality and public health. The presenters will also introduce an airport air quality management electronic resource library and guidebook.

This webinar is sponsored by the Airport Cooperative Research Program. There is no fee to attend this webinar; however, sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
