2016-12-27Orwall Proposes Air Quality Study
Examining the impact of ultra-fine particles in airport communities 12/27/2016 by Clara McMichael Citing a need for a study regarding air quality and related health concerns in the communities surrounding the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), Rep. Tina Orwall called a meeting that brought together representatives from federal, state, and local government as well as the Port -
2016-12-27Ultrafine Particles Near Airports
This December 2016 presentation by University of Washington Professor Tim Larson examines ultrafine particles (UFPs) — tiny airborne particles smaller than 0.1 micrometers — found near airports, including sources such as jet engine exhaust and other combustion products. The research, conducted in collaboration with USC scientists, investigates the concentration and spread of these microscopic particles in communities surrounding airports. The findings are relevant to ongoing discussions about air quality and public health impacts near facilities like Sea-Tac Airport. -

Ultrafine Particles Near Airports
Presentation by Professor Timothy Larson, University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE/UWDEOHS), on ultrafine particles (UFPs) near airports, delivered December 2016. Covers UFP characteristics, size ranges (sub-100nm), and comparison to diesel smoke, combustion products, tobacco smoke, carbon black, and other particulates. Collaborative research with USC researchers Scott Fruin and Neelakshi Hudda, and -
2016-12-01Ultrafine Particles Near Airports
This December 2016 presentation by University of Washington Professor Tim Larson examines ultrafine particles (UFPs) — tiny airborne particles smaller than 0.1 micrometers — found near airports, with a focus on emissions from aircraft and other combustion sources. Conducted in collaboration with researchers from UW and USC, the study explores how these microscopic particles, which are far smaller than diesel smoke or tobacco smoke particles, may pose environmental and health concerns for communities near airports like Sea-Tac. The research provides scientific context for understanding air quality impacts associated with airport operations. -

2013-08-24LAX ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations map, August 2013
This map displays ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations measured by quartile along driving routes near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on August 24, 2013, between 1300–1800 hours. The map includes a wind rose showing predominant westerly winds, 65 dB noise contours from LAX flight paths, and nearby freeways I-405, I-110, and I-105. -
2007-01-01Environmental Health News, Winter 2007: Air Pollution Inside and Out
This University of Washington newsletter documents over 50 years of air quality research by the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, tracing collaborations with Seattle and regional agencies dating back to 1951. It highlights key studies on particulate air pollution from sources such as car exhaust and burning vegetation in the Pacific Northwest, and describes the work of the EPA-funded Northwest Center for Particulate Air Pollution and Health (PM Center), which operated from 1999 to 2006. -
