Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act of 2024

Bill 118 s 5295, also known as the "Health Impacts of Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Act," aims to address the potential health effects of air traffic noise and pollution. The bill directs the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to work with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a comprehensive study on the health impacts of air traffic noise and pollution.

The study will analyze the potential health risks associated with exposure to air traffic noise and pollution, including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, respiratory issues, and mental health effects. The report will also assess the effectiveness of current mitigation measures and recommend potential strategies to reduce the negative health impacts of air traffic noise and pollution.

In addition to the health impact study, the bill also includes provisions for the FAA to collaborate with relevant stakeholders, such as local communities and environmental organizations, to address concerns related to air traffic noise and pollution. The ultimate goal of this legislation is to better understand and mitigate the health risks associated with air traffic activities, ultimately improving the well-being of individuals living near airports and flight paths. Overall, Bill 118 s 5295 seeks to promote public health and safety by addressing the potential health impacts of air traffic noise and pollution through a comprehensive study conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
