[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another way to ask the question is: is it good for people and children to live under a flight path? Is it the same as not? Who could possibly say yes, and be honest?[/quote]

Obviously it's terrible, but apparently nobody cares.   Would dispersing airline traffic in all directions be better for everyone ultimately as particles won't be concentrated over some areas and not others?[/quote]

This is a legitimate q; how linear are particular dosage to health effects on a population basis? Also the palisades are the least dense part of DC, so it makes sense to route all traffic over it.[/quote]

I don't think they route all traffic there.  I visit DC frequently and I am around Georgetown/Foggy Bottom/Dupont.  It would be unbearable to walk around Georgetown if all the planes were sent along the Potomac towards Palisades. They do however send a lot of planes over NOVA inland from the river.  These areas of NOVA are densely populated, not all are SFH areas, many TH and multifamily communities too.  I think all these maps with routes are bunk.  They just show the paths that exist, not the paths that are highly utilized. and when they are utilized.   I don't agree with your comment about routing all the traffic along where the housing is less dense.  It's far from rural housing, it's still very dense, and nobody should be bearing all of the traffic anyway.  I think dispersing it is the answer.  If you don't send airplanes in a line for hours on end over a certain area, then particles there won't be concentrated and will have time to disperse.   Having a little bit of traffic wouldn't be as detrimental as having a lot of it, especially given that it's open air and there are breaks in traffic.  [/quote]
