... This problem does not lend itself to a simple relationship expressed as total emissions per LTO. Since most emission inventories (i.e., those made under NEPA requirements)

... 8.2 Dispersion Models and the Atmospheric Evolution of Hazardous Air Pollutants The following knowledge gaps affect the airport community's ability to predict accurately HAP concentrations near airports, to discern the impact of airports on local air quality, and to identify which airport sources are most important for determining health risks. 8.2.1 Measurements of Ambient HAP Concentrations Near Airports Even though numerous studies have focused on ambient HAP measurements near airports, the challenge of unambiguously assigning an airport contribution and quantifying source apportionment remains largely unmet.

... this analysis the researchers identified only one chronic study for evaluating toxicity of ethene (Hamm, Guest, and Gent 1984) and one subchronic study for evaluating inhalation toxicity of 1-hexene (Gingell, Bennick, and Malley 1999)
