Attend the July Reagan National Community Working Group meeting. The FAA will discuss the health effects of noise on the human body.

 

The Southern Maryland Fair Skies Coalition was founded to seek solutions to decrease aircraft noise and air pollution south of DCA. The most severely impacted neighborhoods are Accokeek (CDP), Bryans Road (CDP), Bennsville (CDP), and Fort Washington (CDP), Maryland.

Most of us can hear noise from low-flying aircraft. We may think the noise is only a nuisance.

“Noise is defined as “unwanted sound.” Aircraft noise is one, if not the most detrimental environmental effect of aviation. It can cause community annoyance, disrupt sleep, adversely affect children's academic performance, and increase cardiovascular disease risk in people in the vicinity of airports.” - National Institute of Health (NIH)

Climate change

 Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns . While some of these shifts are natural, human activities have been the main driver of climate change since the 1800s, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels.   Causes of Climate Change The primary cause of climate change is the greenhouse effect , which is intensified by human activities. Here's a breakdown of the main contributors:   Greenhouse Gases: The burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas for energy, transport, and industry releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases include:   Carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ​ ) : The largest contributor to global warming.   Methane ( C H 4 ​ ) : A potent greenhouse gas produced from sources like livestock farming and natural gas flaring.   Nitrous oxide ( N 2 ​ O ) : Primarily emitted from agricultural practices, including the use of fertilizers.   Deforestation: Trees absorb C O 2 ​ f...

What is NoiseQuest?

NoiseQuest is your source for information on aviation and airport noise. Our goal is to improve the relationship between airports and their surrounding communities. Where Does the information on NoiseQuest come from? Government documents News articles Research journals Aviation practices Mission statement This website was developed to provide educational information on aviation noise. The initial site development was supported by the Federal Aviation Administration through the PARTNER Center of Excellence under grants to researchers at The Pennsylvania State University and Purdue University. The ongoing development and enhancement of the NoiseQuest site is supported by the Federal Aviation Administration through the ASCENT Center of Excellence under grants to researchers at The Pennsylvania State University. Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Fed...
