    Healthy Air, Healthy Schools study executive summary

    A 2021 University of Washington study found that ultrafine air pollution particles from road and aircraft traffic near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were infiltrating nearby school classrooms, with indoor levels reaching roughly half of outdoor concentrations before any intervention. Installing portable HEPA air purifiers reduced classroom ultrafine particle levels to about one-tenth of outdoor levels, cutting overall particle concentrations by an estimated 70%. A follow-up Phase 2 study is now underway in 30 Washington schools to examine longer-term air quality improvements and their effects on student health and academic performance.

    Funding of Phase I of a University of Washington study in partnership with the cities of Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and SeaTac — School resilience to air pollution

    In October 2020, the City of Burien considered joining Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and SeaTac in funding a $62,500 University of Washington study examining how ultrafine particles from aircraft emissions penetrate school buildings near Sea-Tac Airport. The first phase of the study would assess the air filtration efficiency of five schools located north and south of the airport, while a proposed second phase ($250,000) would test interventions to improve indoor air quality and measure their impact on student health and academic performance. Each participating city was asked to contribute $12,500, with the City Manager recommending approval of an Interlocal Agreement to move the project forward.

    This map shows the Des Moines and SeaTac area of Washington State, highlighting a noise impact corridor (shown in teal) that sweeps across the region near Sea-Tac Airport. The corridor passes over several schools including Mt. Rainier High School, Pacific Middle School, Midway Elementary, St. Philomena School, and Des Moines Elementary, indicating these institutions fall within the airport's noise-affected zone. A separate boundary (shown in orange) outlines what appears to be an airport-related land use or acquisition area in the southern portion of the map near Interstate 5.
