c) UW School of Public Health Study on UFP d) Recommendations to address health issues Presenter Notes Presentation Notes This study conducted in 2020 was state funded. Thank you to Senator Keiser and Representative Orwall for sponsoring the work. The Public Health study was a proviso (condition in an agreement) in Washington state’s House Bill 1109 which requests that Public Health – Seattle & King County produce Airport community health profiles for a one-mile, a five-mile, and a 10-mile radius of the airport Comprehensive literature review assessing the strength-of-evidence for health effects of airport operations Summary of findings of the University of Washington School of Public Health study on ultrafine particulate matter Recommendations to address health issues related to the impact of the airport on the community. The results we share with you are descriptive only – it is not possible to causally link the adverse health conditions we’ll discuss to airport-related pollutants. The radii of one mile outside of airport, 1-5 miles and 5-10 miles are based on methods from prior studies of airport pollutants. I’m going to refer to these as ‘airport communities’ hereafter. For example, see: Hudda N, Gould T, Hartin K, Larson TV, Fruin SA. Emissions from an international airport increase particle number concentrations 4-fold at 10 km downwind.

A scientific study examining the association between long-term exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) and mortality in the Netherlands. The study followed 10.8 million adults from 2013-2019 and found significant associations between UFP exposure and natural, cardiovascular, respiratory, and lung cancer mortality.

Vo 1 ume 20, Nos. 9, 1 0, 11 , 12 THE UNBEARABLE MENACE -- AIRPORT NOISE Noise, defined as unwanted sound, surrounds the urban dweller in a never-ending excessive and gradually increasing din of decibels. No one is exposed more intolerably than the citizen who resides in close proximity to a major airport. Exposure of humans to noise can result in both mental and physical distress. While the most noticeable effect of noise exposure involves the hearing mechanism, certain noises may result in non-auditory distress such as alterations in resoiration, circulation, basal metabolic rate. and muscle tension. These physical effects are primarily related to intensity and frequency of the offending sound. Equally important and very likely more important than the physical manifestations are the possible psychologic effects. Psychologic reactions invo 'lve a multiplicity of factors which vary v-Jith the characteristics of the sound -- the inappropriateness of the stimulus, unexpectedness of the noise, interference \'ith speech COITimunication, and intermittancy, as well as its intensity and frequency. The quality of the noise rather than the quantity is usually the deciding factor in influencing the emotional reactions to raise. No doubt the most widespread reaction to noise is that of annoyance. Certain characteristics of sound appear more annoying than others. These characteristics are: 1. Loudness- the more intense, louder noises are considered more annoying. 2. Pitch- a high pitch noise is generally more annoying than…
