Larson, Edmund Seto with University of Washington, Seattle June 23, 2021 Understanding the community health effects of pollution related to Seattle- Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) operations a) Airport community health profiles b) Strength of evidence to date c) UW School of Public Health Study on UFP d) Recommendations to address health issues Presenter Presentation Notes This study and work is state funded. Thank you, Senator Keiser and Representative Orwall for requesting and sponsoring the work. The Public Health study was a proviso 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. For example, see: Hudda N, Gould T, Hartin K, Larson TV, Fruin SA.

Senior Social Research Scientist, Assessment, Policy Development & Evaluation Public Health—Seattle & King County (PHSKC) Sent via email: krijohnson@kingcounty.gov Re: Initial Concerns and Questions for Public Health-Seattle & King County Dear Kris: Thank you for our recent discussion with you regarding the PHSKC report, Community Health and Airport Operations Related Noise and Air Pollution: Report to the Legislature in Response to Washington State HOUSE BILL 1109. We understand the County was tasked with completing this report. However, we do not understand why the County chose not to notify or coordinate with the Port of Seattle in developing such a report. The Port of Seattle works closely with Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and other regulatory agencies in managing its airport-related noise and air pollution and if contacted, we would have supplied additional rigorous scientific and technical information that could have aided this study. We have reviewed the report and have a number of questions and concerns regarding the County’s methodology, data sources, scope, analysis, and conclusions. We appreciate the chance to have had a preliminary discussion with you, and we look forward to submitting a more detailed follow-up letter to the County soon. In the meantime, we plan to share some of the attached concerns at the June 23 SeaTac Stakeholder Advisory Roundtable (StART) meeting, where the County will be presenting this report. These items are a partial list and represent some of our biggest concerns. Our overarching intent is that accurate, scientifically supported information be presented regarding the airport’s…
