2000-03-01Addressing community health concerns around SeaTac Airport: Response to the question, ‘Is it possible to monitor jet engine exhaust emissions or to model their path using data on prevailing winds and takeoff patterns?’
This March 2000 report, prepared by Washington State health and environmental agencies, examines whether jet engine exhaust emissions from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport can be monitored or modeled using wind and takeoff data. It reviews previous air quality studies, outlines health and environmental justice concerns for nearby communities, and recommends a structured air quality monitoring study with specific methods, data analysis approaches, and estimated costs. The report was developed in consultation with community representatives, the EPA, and local universities.
