Overview

Background & policy context:

LASPORT is a program system for the determination of airport-related sources of pollution (emissions). It was developed in 2002 on behalf of the Working Group of German Airports Association (ADV) and has since been applied in Europe and in particular in Switzerland , including the Zurich Airport. LASPORT is a so-called Lagrangian model whose dispersion calculations on the specifics of aircraft emissions (mobile sources) are specially designed..

LASPORT has to be further developed and harmonised according to the European standards in order to get an acceptance by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).

Objectives:

Develop the program system LASPORT (LAS AT for Airports), which determines the total emissions of airport-induced sources and calculates the atmospheric dispersion of trace substances originating with the Lagrangian dispersion model LASAT.
