STAT I O N A RY MEASUREMENTS The stationary measurements were conducted in 2010-11 in Copenhagen Airport. The purpose was to conduct detailed and long-term measurements of air pollution in the airport. The monitor station was placed in the airport yard close to the employees loading and handling aircrafts using gate B4; referred to as

Furthermore, nitrogen dioxide and fine particles as well as ultrafine particles, were measured at station analysed for 9 PAHs, 33 VOCs incl. 9 aldehydes, SO2, NOx, fine particles, ultrafine particles and soot (black
