[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regan should be closed IMO. Ultra fine particles dumping all over the city is giving us all a higher risk of cancer. [/quote] Agree. Except it’s not all over the city, is it? It’s very well concentrated in a tight corridor. There’s some historic justice in the areas closer to and EOTP not being affected. Also there are massive no fly zones — draw large circles around the VP residence, the White House. And then there’s no need to fly over adjacent neighborhoods since you want to be closer to the river. So most of the city is fine.[/quote] Wind carries it all over. [/quote] True. But very diluted and dispersed, with much longer time to reach the ground. Under the flight path 10 miles from the airport it’s almost like some is leaf blowing this pollution straight into your airways. Think about how long it would take a 0.1 micron particle to gently float on the breeze and down to the ground farther away vs. being pushed down directly under the flight path. A study suggests over an hour or more vs. 10 mins. A good analogy is a smoke from a fire, much different if standing next to the fire pit (your hair and clothes smell right?) vs. several miles away[/quote]
