Assessing exposures to source-specific air pollution through a multi-pollutant mobile monitoring campaign in Seattle, WA

This presentation from the 2024 International Society of Exposure Science annual meeting describes a mobile air quality monitoring study conducted in Seattle, Washington, aimed at measuring exposure to pollutants from specific pollution sources. Researchers from the University of Washington used a multi-pollutant mobile monitoring campaign to assess how residents are exposed to various types of air pollution across different locations in the city. The study covers methods, results, and conclusions related to source-specific air pollution exposure assessment.

Sidebar On/Off

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
