AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting Airport Communities from Particle Emissions Act, directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a study on airborne ultrafine particles (UFPs) and their effects on human health. The study will focus on major U.S. airports, examining the characteristics, sources, and distribution of UFPs, as well as their potential health impacts, including on vulnerable populations. The bill also requires the study to identify measures, such as the use of sustainable aviation fuels, to reduce UFP emissions from aircraft and airport operations. The results of the study will be reported to Congress within two years, providing important information to policymakers on this issue.
