This presentation outlines the 'Airproofing' pilot project aimed at improving air quality for residents of East Boston, a neighborhood heavily impacted by pollution from nearby Logan Airport. The project, a collaboration between Air Partners, Olin College of Engineering, Aerodyne Research, and community organizations, examines the problem of airport-related air pollution, explores protective solutions for homes and buildings, and describes testing methods and resource needs. While focused on East Boston, the initiative offers a potential model for addressing aviation-related air quality burdens in other airport-adjacent communities.Open full document
