A team of researchers is set to conduct a three-year study on the extent of particle pollution at Copenhagen Airport in Kastrup and how it affects the health of airport employees. Currently, the airport complies with all pollution limits, but the focus is on reducing the exposure of employees to harmful particles and chemicals over time. Lise Agerley Kürstein, the communications director at Copenhagen Airport, emphasized the need for more information about the pollution in order to implement effective measures to reduce it.

The research project will not only include employees who work directly beside aircraft engines but also those who work in office buildings within the airport premises. This broader scope aims to encompass all personnel affected by the airport's operational environment, ensuring that the findings can lead to comprehensive workplace health improvements. The initiative highlights the airport's commitment to employee health and sustainable operations.

As the study proceeds, it is expected to provide critical insights into workplace safety and environmental health at one of Scandinavia's busiest airports. The outcomes may influence future policies and practices concerning air quality and employee welfare, setting a precedent for other airports to follow in similar studies regarding operational impacts on staff health.
