Environment

A common concern of ARC members is to balance economic benefits generated by the airport and the environmental impact.

The ARC Environment Interest Group is dealing with issues like noise, air/water/soil pollution and mitigation. After issuing an assessment of good practises on environmental issues in airport regions the group concentrates on aircraft noise regulations and the administrative structures that produce them.

'Administrative Structures in Airport Regions (ADSTAR)' analyses the different organisational structures that deal with air traffic safety and noise reduction within EU countries. ADSTAR is complementary to the MANIC-project (Managing Aircraft Noise in Communities) that looked at different existing instruments for dealing with the noise problem.
