New field studies need to be conducted in the US to acquire current data relative to varying degrees of noise exposure to provide information on the effect of noise on sleep. As studies may need to investigate samples around multiple airports it will not be possible to use polysomnography to monitor sleep, as it has a high methodological cost. Inst

Atmospheric chemistry-climate models are often used to calculate the effect of aviation NOx emissions on atmospheric ozone (O3) and methane (CH4). Due to the long (∼10 yr) atmospheric lifetime of methane, model simulations must be run for long time periods, typically for more than 40 simulation years, to reach steady-state if using CH4 emission flu
