The MOV-UP (Mobile ObserVations of Ultrafine Particles) study was a two-year University of Washington research project, funded by the State of Washington, that measured air quality impacts from aircraft traffic on communities living near and beneath the flight paths of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Researchers used mobile monitoring methods to collect ultrafine particle data across the affected neighborhoods, working alongside local governments, community members, and an advisory group of agency and city representatives. The findings are intended to inform policymakers and the public about the air pollution risks associated with airport operations in the Seattle-Tacoma region.Open full document
Notes
The MOV-UP study is a two-year University of Washington research project funded by the State of Washington to investigate air quality impacts of air traffic on communities near and below the flight paths of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The study involved mobile monitoring of ultrafine particles and was conducted in coordination with local governments and community members. A study advisory group comprising representatives from government agencies, cities, and community organizations guided the study design and methods.
