The Harms
Aircraft emit EPA “hazardous pollutants” including carbon dioxide, lead, and particulate matter (PM) that gets into your lungs and inside your body.
The King County 2020 public health report states that air and noise pollution causes asthma, hypertension and heart disease.
Aircraft greenhouse gas (GHG) exhaust causes hotter weather and climate change. We fought hard to include aircraft GHG in the King County Climate Strategic Action Plan.
