…UFP counts exclusively near the airport. Well-designed mobile monitoring campaigns that capture total and small UFPs can be utilized to better understand the differential health effects of aircraft and traffic-related…
Air purifiers
…HEPA filtration doesn’t seem to capture Ultrafine Particulates. And UFPs are the central component of commercial aviation emissions. Modern jet engines display no visible exhaust. That doesn’t mean it’s not…
Beautiful Sunsets vs. Particulate Matter
Limit your exposure to particulate matter. Limit your cumulative risk. The smoke from wildfires has once again blanketed the areas around Sea-Tac Airport, creating PM2.5 air quality readings often seen more in Third World countries. Unfortunately, most of us are highly biased to only perceive dangers we can see. For example, many of you will
