Aviation Particulate Matter Emissions Research in Switzerland: History and Milestones to Date

Aviation emissions have been the focus of research and regulation since the 1970s. Switzerland's Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) and research groups in Switzerland have contributed significantly to an improved understanding of these emissions and their impact on the environment and health. This paper presents a brief history of aviation emissions research in Switzerland. We also present the direction of future research on aviation emissions using the Swiss mobile aircraft emissions measurement system (SMARTEMIS).
