Airport (TEB) is located on an 827-acre
property in Teterboro and Moonachie,
New Jersey. As the oldest operating
airport in the New York/New Jersey
metropolitan area, TEB has grown into
one of the busiest General Aviation
airports in the U.S., with over 200,000
arrivals and departures per year.
In response to community concerns
about potential local air quality
impacts, ENVIRON was contracted with
NJDEP to conduct a year-long air monitoring
study in the area.
The general goals
of the Teterboro Air Quality study
are:
• To assess long-term ambient
concentrations of selected air toxics
in the immediate vicinity of the
airport ; and
• To determine whether contributions
from airport operations can be distinguished
from the contributions of other
background sources.
The study will focus
on the compounds known to be emitted
by mobile sources (e.g., cars, trucks,
and aircraft), with particular attention
to compounds associated with aircraft
operations (e.g., takeoff, landing,
refueling, idling, and maintenance).
A combination of real-time monitoring
and discrete sampling equipment
will be used to quantify gaseous
compounds, volatile organic compounds,
fine particular matter (PM2.5),
and black carbon. Information on
traffic patterns and meteorology
will also be collected and used
in data assessment.
