If you love your children,
love your spouse and love your self you should read
this article. Out of self-interest, you should get involved in organized opposition
to the FAA implementation of the D.C. metroplex
Regan North landing. The noise from
overhead aircraft is constant on most days from approximately 6 am until
midnight. The FAA direct over Accokeek approximately 70,000 aircraft a year
using the north flow arrivals, approximately 200 airplanes a day. Most aircraft
fly at an altitude
of fewer than 2,500 feet. Research indicates this emission from aircraft jet engines
travels as far as 10 miles in every direction.
“The Laboratory for Aviation
and the Environment is a research lab in the MIT Department of Aeronautics
& Astronautics.”
“Air pollution is
responsible for millions of early deaths each year, and every human activity –
from manufacturing to agriculture, to
aviation – plays its part in this problem. As aviation grows as an industry, so
too will the effect it has on air quality. Under existing conditions, aircraft
emissions are thought to be responsible for around ten thousand premature
deaths per year.”
