Analysis to Support the Development of an Engine nvPM Emissions Standards (COMPLETE)

Project Number: 048  COMPLETE
Category: Combustion Products

The long-term exposure to fine particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) has been associated with respiratory and cardiopulmonary health impacts. Similar to all combustion sources, aircraft engines produce PM2.5 emissions. The particles that are in a solid state at the engine exit plane are defined as non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM). This project sets out to support the FAA decision-making process in developing an nvPM standard to reduce nvPM emissions and provides independent assessments in preparation of the related CAEP process.
