Supporting information document for the academic study “Impacts of aviation emissions on near-airport residential air quality” by Neelakshi Hudda, Liam W. Durant, Scott A. Fruin, and John L. Durant (Tufts University, USC Keck School of Medicine). Contains detailed methods including preferred runway configurations (Northwest and Northeast flow operating configurations), maps of traffic volume estimates around

Supporting information for an academic study by Hudda, Simon, Zamore, Brugge, and Durant (Tufts University) on aviation emissions and ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations in the greater Boston area, published in Environmental Science & Technology. Document includes diurnal flight activity patterns at Logan International Airport (2014 hourly average LTO data), runway-specific arrival and departure statistics by

Agenda for the Joint Des Moines and Burien Airport Committee meeting scheduled for July 13, 2026, at 4:00 PM in the City Council Chambers in Des Moines, Washington. The single agenda item is a summary of the 2026 Aviation Noise & Emissions Symposium. The meeting follows standard order of business including call to order, roll

The University of Washington held an Advisory Group Meeting on October 3, 2025, focused on urban ultrafine particles (nano-particles) and their sources, including aviation-related emissions near areas like Sea-Tac Airport. The meeting aimed to foster dialogue, address knowledge gaps from the MOV-UP study, identify priority research questions, and guide scientific research on air quality monitoring. Advisors were asked to provide feedback on study design and methodology, with a time commitment including annual meetings and optional review of study outputs.

Meeting minutes from the UFP Advisory Group discussing research priorities for ultrafine particle health effects, mitigation strategies, and exposure reduction in aviation-impacted communities. Participants included University of Washington researchers, public health officials, school district representatives, and community leaders focusing on air quality and health impacts near Sea-Tac Airport.

A comprehensive study measuring ultrafine particles, lead, and other air pollutants from aviation emissions at Hanscom Field across four surrounding Massachusetts towns. The study found that UFP concentrations were up to two-fold higher at downwind sites and often exceeded WHO guidelines, with the highest impacts in Bedford and Lexington.
