Bill 118 hr 1049, also known as the Protecting Airport Communities from Particle Emissions Act, aims to address the issue of particle emissions from airports and their impact on surrounding communities. The bill specifically focuses on reducing the health and environmental risks associated with ultrafine particles emitted by aircraft engines during takeoff and landing.

The legislation requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a study on the health effects of ultrafine particles emitted by aircraft engines and develop regulations to limit these emissions. It also mandates that airports implement measures to monitor and reduce particle emissions, such as using cleaner fuels and technologies.

Additionally, the bill calls for increased public awareness and community engagement regarding the health risks of particle emissions from airports. It encourages collaboration between airports, local governments, and community stakeholders to develop strategies for mitigating the impact of these emissions on public health and the environment. Overall, the Protecting Airport Communities from Particle Emissions Act seeks to promote the health and well-being of individuals living near airports by addressing the issue of particle emissions and implementing measures to reduce their harmful effects.
