Abstract
During the last few years the investigation of the environmental effects resulting from aircraft exhaust emissions have been intensified due to a growing awareness of climatic changes of the atmosphere. Emissions from aircraft engines include carbonmonoxide (CO), nitrogin oxides (NO x ), organic compounds (HCs), water vapor and various other gases and particles (Schumann, 1994). Under favourable meteorological conditions, the production of ozone (O3) is mainly controlled by the concentration level of NO x and HC. Aircraft emissions may have an effect on these ozone precursors and thus on the formation of ozone.
