A member asked:
Study found ultrafine particle concentrations in suburbs next to airport were especially higher than typical levels. is this true? my family will be exposed to ultrafine cancer causing chemicals living 4kms from airport? shorter life expectancy?

We are learning more and more about various environmental exposures, of which this is an example, but know very little about what the health implications could be. No particular increased health problems have been noticed in those living closer to airports, so that is reassuring, with the disclaimer that studies are limited.

Worried about a new flight path to go over our home 600 feet above our house. Will we be exposed to jet fuel that can cause health issues such as cancer? What about noise? Is it proven to cause heart issues? We are 4kms from airport. Thanking you?
Does jet fuel from commercial planes cause cancer? Our house is 3km from airport, they fly 600 metres above. Noticed a strong petrol smell in the air for a few days. Worried as my son is 2 and my dad passed from mesothelioma only 4 months ago?
Will people living near the airport make me more prone to cancer?
