CCA report
This report is a first step for community advocates to develop a campaign to reduce air pollution from airports in the Los Angeles region. Its findings also highlight serious air pollution problems that impact thousands of communities across the country. Among the report’s key findings is the high level of lead emissions from aviation gasoline (avgas), which is used in piston-engine, normally non-commercial aircraft that frequent generation aviation airports. These emissions pose a health risk to approximately 3 million children and 16 million adults who live or attend school near the almost 20,000 U.S. airports frequented by piston-engine aircraft. > Read more about our findings
