Environmental protection in air traffic

Kroz temu ovoga rada proučavano je pitanje zaštite okoliša u zračnom prometu te na koji način utječe na stanje okoliša, promjenu klime i ljudsko zdravlje. Neprestanim jačanjem zračnog prometa raste broj letova i putnika koji uzrokuju sve veću ekološku štetu emisijama CO2, NOx i bukom. U radu se analiziraju mogući aspekti smanjenja onečišćenja okoliša tehnologijskim i operativnim mjerama koje zahtijevaju djelovanje na svim razinama. Europska unija ima pomno definiranu politiku zaštite okoliša, a svojim pristupanjem Hrvatska je uskladila svoje zakonodavstvo s onima iz Europske unije. Do 2050. godine nastoji se ostvariti smanjenje negativnih utjecaja zrakoplovstva na okoliš, međunarodnim propisima i standardima Europske unije. U radu će se analizirati pitanje hoće li takva politika i nove tehnologije pozitivno djelovati na ekološke čimbenike.The topic of this paper examines the issue of environmental protection in air traffic and how it affects the state of environment, climate change and human health. With the constant increase in air traffic, the number of flights and passengers is increasing causing bigger environmental damage with emissions of CO2, NOx and noise. The paper analyzes possible aspects of reducing environmental polution by technological and operational measures that require actions at all levels. The European Union has a carefully defined environmental policy, and with its accession Croatia has coordinated its legislation with those of the European Union. By 2050., the aim is to reduce the negative impact of aviation on the environment with international regulations and standards of the European Union. The paper will analyze whether such policies and new technology will have positive affect on environmental factors
