Which one of you was this? 78% of noise complaints lodged against Reagan Airport were made by one household!

I’m highly skeptical that some random combustion byproduct that is huge by molecular standards can find its way into the brain.

Have any of these studies cited been medically peer reviewed?

What do you think?

Of course, Nature, PubMed, NIH, UW, WHO are fly by night hacks. Why trust anything they say?

Just read the Nature article first and then go on from there. I found it all very persuasive

It’s olfactory nerve, DNA damage and they think also the blood brain barrier. There’s a whole scientific study on this right now. It is fascinating if you have some interest. EU has started to regulate; of course the US has not.

The mechanism is probably endocytosis since the particles are tiny, numerous and diffused, plus have unusual lipid characteristics.

Are you willing to cease air travel altogether? That means you will never travel again absent a train or a ship. Because simply rerouting aircraft over someone else’s neighborhood seems like quite the dick move, if it’s as dangerous as you say these studies claim. The only answer is a complete and total ban on all forms of aviation. Are you good with that?

Not at all. I fact, I’m in favor of more inclusive of long haul from DCA. I just have no interest in living under the flight path. I live in DC, under reasonably clear skies. Most of DC is just fine.
