Fifty-two million people live within a 20 kilometre radius of the 32 busiest airports in Europe are facing exposure to ultrafine particles from planes, which are putting them at increased risk of serious health conditions such as respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease, and complications in pregnancy. That is the alarming headline warning of a new report released yesterday by consultancy CE Delft, which was by the Transport &amp; Environment (T&amp;E) think tank.<\/p>\n<p>While aviation emissions have been a persistent concern as a contributor to climate change, the new study sheds light on the adverse health effects of living near an airport.The report calculates more than 10 per cent of Europe&#8217;s total population lives within 20 kilometres of an airport. For example, in Paris eight million people are affected by its two main airports. The research suggests that exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) from planes could be associated with 280,000 cases of high blood pressure, 330,000 cases of diabetes, and 18,000 cases of dementia across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>The study extrapolates reported cases of these illnesses around Amsterdam Schiphol airport to give what its authors claim is the first ever estimate of health effects linked to aviation-related UFPs in Europe.With a tiny size of 100 nanometers in diameter &#8211; around 1,000 times smaller than a human hair &#8211; the researchers warned UFPs are &#8220;particularly concerning&#8221; because they penetrate deeply into the human body and have been found in the blood, brain, and placenta.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study there is presently no regulation on safe levels of UFPs in the air, despite the fact the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned it was a pollutant of &#8220;emerging concern&#8221; more than 15 years ago. The study explained how UFPs from planes are emitted at a high altitude, but are also released during take-off and landing, meaning residents living near airports are particularly affected. It estimated people living within a 5km radius of an airport breathe in air that contains, on average, anything from 3,000 to 10,000 ultrafine particles per cubic centimetre emitted by aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>The report also showed that in many cities there is a correlation between people living near an airport and lower incomes, which it warned &#8220;shows once again that the most vulnerable in society are most affected by air pollution&#8221;. Jemima Hartshorn, founder of Mums for Lungs &#8211; a UK based air quality campaign group &#8211; warned &#8216;now we are becoming aware of another invisible danger affecting everyone&#8217;s health&#8217;. &#8220;We know that air pollution is the biggest public health crisis and particularly affects children, babies and older people,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Most people have no choice over where airports are sited or how big they are, and often this pollution is being created by planes carrying passengers from all around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4327574\/air-sickness-ultra-fine-particles-planes-putting-million-europeans-risk-health-conditions\">Read more&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4327574\/air-sickness-ultra-fine-particles-planes-putting-million-europeans-risk-health-conditions\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/air-sickness-ultra-fine-particles-from-planes-putting-52-million-europeans-at-risk-of-serious-health-conditions\/\">Air sickness: Ultra-fine particles from planes putting 52 million Europeans at risk of serious health conditions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15071,537,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-air-sickness","tag-particles","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131927\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
