2022-08-20Background: Racial and economic inequities in birth outcomes
A University of Washington Epidemiology researcher, Anna Harrington, presents findings showing that communities near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport have higher rates of preterm births and are home to a disproportionate share of King County's people of color and low-income residents. The presentation proposes a qualitative research study to explore how airport community stakeholders perceive the public health risks of SeaTac air pollution on pregnant people, and what barriers they face in reducing that exposure. The study aims to understand whether risk perceptions and mitigation strategies differ based on the racial identity and income level of pregnant individuals. -

2022-08-08UFP Advisory Group Meeting Minutes: August 8, 2022
A University of Washington research team presented findings to a community advisory group showing that HEPA air purifiers in classrooms near Sea-Tac Airport reduced ultrafine particle (UFP) levels from 50% down to just 10% of outdoor concentrations. The meeting, held August 8, 2022, also covered a small pilot health study suggesting short-term cardiovascular and respiratory differences in people exposed to aircraft UFPs while walking under flight paths. Participants from government agencies, community organizations, and public health departments discussed next steps including expanded outdoor monitoring, wildfire response planning, and potential new funding through the HEAL Act. -
