Analysis of Airport Runoff Waters

Abstract

A particularly important facet of airport operation is the impact of the pollution caused byrunoff waters. Runoff waters at an airport may contain relatively high concentrations of differentcontaminants resulting from the various aspects of its operation: de/anti-icing operations,washing and cleaning operations, spills of fuel and lubricants, exhaust fumes, and weed removal.The pollution caused by airport operations affects soil, surface waters, and groundwater. Thisissue is important to various stakeholders, particularly those residing in communities near airports,whose health, property values, and quality of life can be affected by such environmentalimpacts. The authors' intention is to present a critical review of literature data concerning (1)the types of pollution generated at airports, (2) methods for sampling runoff waters, (3) theanalytical methods available for sample preparation, and (4) the analytical methods availablefor determining contaminants produced during airport operations. In addition, the article suppliesliterature information on the analytes contained in samples of runoff water from airportsin different parts of the world.
