Environmental of aircraft maintenance and renovation at the Liszt Ferenc repair base - summary

Abstract

During my research I tried to draw attention to the environmental risks arising during the activities of the airplane repair base at Liszt Ferenc Airport. Since its foundation, 58 Boeing and 42 Airbus aircraft have rolled out of the Liszt Ferenc repair base in a brand new, refurbished condition. It is worth mentioning here that in a hangar they usually deal with the repair of two machines at the same time. It is planned that over time, wide-body aircraft will also be repaired in Hungary. In my research I describe the environmental problems caused by transport, including aviation. I describe the emissions to the environment during the maintenance and renovation of aircrafts at the repaiar base. Within this topic, I would like to discuss in more detail the problems of waste generation, waste management, wastewater discharge, noise pollution and air pollution in the light of the technological processes of maintenance, repairs and renovations. In addition to the effects on the environment, special attention must be paid to the effects that adversely affect the health of the workers on the Repair Base. In the course of my work, I focus on one of the most critical technologies of major repairs, paint removal in connection with the renovation of machine bodies, and air pollution during the painting process. I examined the extent of personal exposure of workers and the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of air pollution, taking into account the presence of toxic substances that are extremely harmful to health and the environment. My aim is to highlight the critical points associated with environmentally harmful emissions in order to protect the environment and the health of workers, and to draw attention, where necessary, to the need to take appropriate measures. It would be useful to extend the scope of separate collection not only to paper and wood waste, but also to other recyclable waste materials. The waste on the base is transported, disposed of and recycled by specialized companies contracted for this purpose only.
