NEW REPORT ✈️🏙️😱

Did you know?

▶️ WHO/EU aircraft noise levels are exceeded around most airports?
▶️ Aviation’s dangerous ultrafine particles aren’t regulated?

Want to know what to do about #aviation’s serious #health effects?

👉 Check out: https://stay-grounded.org/aviation-is-a-health-issue

🧵1/8

StayGrounded_net,

#Aircraft #noise can lead to serious health problems, from heart disease to mental health issues, sleep disturbance and hearing damage.

E.g. estimates say night-time aircraft noise near Frankfurt airport leads to 23,400 hospitalisations and 3,400 deaths a year.

2/8

StayGrounded_net,

Air quality limits exist for particulate matter - but not for ultrafine particles ()!

As they are tiny, UFP penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream. This affects millions of people, not only those living around an but also several kilometres downwind.

3/8

StayGrounded_net,

According to the latest estimate, ozone and PM alone cause ~74,300 premature deaths globally per year, this doesn't include all aircraft emissions

Kerosene is not subject to the same standards as car fuel: reducing its sulphur content would limit dangerous levels of UFP

4/8

StayGrounded_net,

Aircraft noise, emissions and the related health issues fall disproportionately on low-income communities surrounding airports, and airport workers - while those flying frequently are mostly the wealthy.

✈️🧾Think carbon offsetting can solve all aviation’s emissions problems? The industry would like us to believe so…

But we know it’s a big myth, pedalled to continue business-as-usual

Here’s what they tell you about vs. reality

To achieve , where both people and planet thrive, we cannot tinker at the edges of the existing system

We must build a new economy that reflects the needs of all humanity and the natural world, and at its centre, a different mobility system

The countries responsible for the climate crisis and most affected regions must stand shoulder to shoulder in this fight
