Jet engine exhaust is a significant source of ultrafine particles and aviation-related emissions can adversely impact air quality over large areas surrounding airports. We investigated outdoor and indoor ultrafine particle number concentrations (PNC) from 16 residences located in two study areas in the greater Boston metropolitan area (MA, USA) for evidence of aviation-related impacts.

Atmospheric Sciences Group McCulley, Frick & Gilman, Inc. 3400 188th Street SW, Suite 400 Lynnwood, WA 98037 An air quality survey of airborne toxic o rganic compounds and carbon monoxide was conducted in the vicinity of Seattle-Tacoma International (Sea-Tac) Airport Samples were collected during four late fall to early winter days in 1993 at locations
The Mobile ObserVations of Ultrafine Particles (MOV-UP) study was a two-year project funded by the State of Washington to study air quality impacts of air traffic for communities located near and below the flight paths of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The University of Washington research team that led the study coordinated with local governments and solicited
In this study, we modeled concentrations of fine particulate matter(PM2.5) and ozone(O3) attributable to precursor emissions from individual airports in the United States, developing airport-specific health damage functions (deaths per 1000 tof precursor emissions) and physically-interpretable regression models to explain variability in these functions.
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency conducted this screening study to identify chemicals and emission sources that pose the greatest potential health risks to citizens in the Puget Sound region. We also hope to better characterize the potential health risks to our three million residents from a group of air contaminants referred to as air

This study is part of what is broadly known as 'The Commerce Study'. The reference to HB 1109 (2019) refers to the fact that it was funded by a Budget Proviso. All such funding is voted on in an omnibus spending bill (HB 1109) in Sections 129, 221, 1011 and 1502 (UW DEOHS)
Purpose: the evaluation of ground level impacts on the ambient air of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac)
