The King County Health Study, conducted by Ramboll on behalf of King County's local health jurisdiction, examines the public health impacts of Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport operations on surrounding communities. Funded at $125,000 over two years, the study analyzes existing health data, reviews scientific literature on airport-related noise and air pollution, and incorporates a University of Washington study on ultrafine particulate matter near the airport. The report also profiles community health within one-, five-, and ten-mile radii of the airport and offers recommendations for addressing identified health concerns.Open full document
