Local Emissions: local air quality
What is dispersion?
Calculating how the emitted pollutants spreak over the airport’s environment.

What is the tension between airports (ACI) and airlines (IATA)?
Airports should maintain full financial records, full cost, no charges for facilities not used, airport revenues may exceed costs, users ability pay should not be taken into account until all costs are assessed.
