Development of a Computer Emission Inventory Routine for Aircraft Ground Support Equipment. Volume I.

Abstract

A computer subroutine was developed to display Ground Support Equipment (GSE) operations data, as well as retrieve and compute the GSE emissions for each aircraft type. This subroutine was embedded into a Source Inventory Program (SIP) designed to quantify the hundreds of air pollution sources typically found on an airbase. Although the SIP was originally intended for use in the extensive Air Quality Assessment Model (AQAM) system, it will also be used in the streamlined Assessment Inventory and Dispersion System (AIDS). AIDS (under development) uses modular interactive microcomputer logic with graphical input and output capabilities to readily inventory and predict levels of selected air pollutants resulting from Air Force operations and local sources. This GSE subroutine provides more readily available for as input to air pollution inventories and will simplify manual data collection at the individual base level. (Author)
