Environmental Impact on the surrounding areas including increased pollution due to construction activities and increased air traffic. Noise Pollution: Additional runways mean more flights, which in turn means more noise pollution for the nearby communities. This can disturb the residents' quality of life and have adverse effects on their health. Air Pollution: More air traffic leads to increased emissions, including greenhouse gases and other pollutants. This can worsen air quality in the region. Climate Change: The aviation industry is a significant contributor to climate change. More flights mean more carbon emissions, which can exacerbate global warming and its associated impacts on the environment.
