Abstract: During April and May 2019 Salzburg Airport was closed for five weeks for runway renovation. As a result, landings and take-offs (LTOs) were impossible during this period. This offered a rare opportunity to carry out a field study to investigate the concentration of ultrafine particles prior to, during and after completion of the renovation work. During the construction phase, the sharp particle concentration peaks resulting from LTOs during normal operation were no longer encountered at the measurement site, 140 m from the runway. Towards the end of the airport closure, construction activity was all but completed and LTO activity was strictly limited to test purposes, which resulted in average ultrafine-particle concentrations of approximately 3,000 to 4,000 cm-3 (06–23 h average value). The reconstruction work itself and the high numbers of construction vehicles caused an increase in ultrafine-particle concentrations of an additional 1,000 to 2,000 cm-3 (06–23 h average value). In comparison, in the three weeks before and the three weeks after the closure, when airport operations were running as normal, concentrations increased by 3,000 to 4,000 cm-3 (06–23 h average value).

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
