2020-11-10Airproofing: Piloting a Strategy for Improving Air Health in East Boston
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. -
2020-05-29Airport Case Studies: NPIAS, Boston Logan International Airport — Appendix A, Section 3
This document examines how Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and comparable U.S. airports handle community noise and growth impacts, using Boston Logan International Airport as a key case study. It outlines federal NPIAS guidelines requiring airports to balance aviation needs with community and environmental concerns, and details Boston Logan's noise abatement measures — including nighttime flight restrictions, soundproofing programs, and a 24-hour noise hotline — as models for addressing residential noise complaints. These examples provide context for evaluating Sea-Tac's own noise policies and community compatibility efforts.
