The secondary impact involves the pollution j:!enerate<f by industrial traffic and resi- dential areas attracted to , the vicinity ·of ·an airport. · The secondary effect of an airport can "produce large local impacts,'~ Greenfield said. The use of buffer zones requires land around the airport and it can be used in a number of ways, whi.ch cause pollution and traffic. "T he · implications for very large airports are great," he said.
