[quote=Anonymous]if you're talking about the Elena Austin study from 2021, here's what it said:

[i]The Mobile ObserVations of Ultrafine Particles study was a two-year project to analyze potential air quality impacts of [b]ultrafine particles (UFPs) [/b]from aircraft traffic for communities near an international airport. The study assessed UFP concentrations within 10 miles of the airport in the directions of aircraft flight. Over the course of four seasons, this study conducted a mobile sampling scheme to collect time-resolved measures of UFP, CO2, and black carbon (BC) concentrations, as well as UFP size distributions. [b]Primary findings were that UFPs were associated with both roadway traffic and aircraft sources, with the highest UFP counts found on the major roadway (I-5).[/b][/i]

People should be attentive to the potential risks of ultrafine particles, but it's dishonest to pretend it's unique to aircraft or flight paths, or that the findings for airport-adjacent communities automatically apply for communities like Cabin John that are 12 miles from DCA.   Living in DC we're more aware than most of how people with an agenda like to trot out factoids without providing the full context.   [/quote]
