These reduced-oxygen conditions in the groundwater can indicate an upgradient source of carbon, such as the aircraft deicing/anti-icing fluids. Studies of groundwater quality near other airports in the United States and Norway have found components of aircraft deicing/anti-icing fluids were associated with reduced dissolved-oxygen conditions." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "In 2008 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Jackson Hole Airport Board and Teton Conservation District, began a study designed to characterize the alluvial aquifer at the Jackson Hole Airport.
