DEGRADATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT DUE TO LEAKAGE OF ‘SKYKEM’ TOILET FLUID AT GROUND HANDLING OF CIVIL AIRCRAFTS

Abstract

The paper describes the main environmental impacts of leakage of the ‘SKYKEM’ aircraft toilet fluid. The sources of pollution are analyzed, and the chemical composition of the fluid is presented. The scales of degradation of territories adjacent to the ramp complex are assessed. Negative environmental properties of the ‘Skykem’ fluid and sachets, observed in the course of the experimental work, are tabulated, and the solutions are proposed for difficult situations encountered during the operation of the ramp complex.
