Fine particles from aircraft exhaust become more harmful over time, lab tests suggest
Fine particulate matter consists of tiny particles with diameters in the nanometer range. They are produced, for example, by fuel combustion, remain suspended in the air and can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract. There, they can trigger oxidative stress, a process that promotes inflammation and, over the long term, can lead to serious health problems such as respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. Scientists call this harmful property th…
Aged aircraft exhaust poses a rising threat to human health
Fine particulate matter consists of tiny particles with diameters in the nanometer range. They are produced, for example, by fuel combustion, remain suspended in the air and can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract.
Fine particles consist of tiny particles whose diameter is of the order of the nanometer. They are produced for example by combustion of fuels, remain suspended in the air and can penetrate deeply into the airways. There, they can trigger oxidative stress, a process that promotes inflammation and can lead, in [...]
Outcast aircraft fine dust changes its properties in the air. In laboratory tests, the oxidative reactivity of the particles increased by six to seven times with simulated atmospheric ageing, which could indicate a growing potential for damage. However, whether the chemical changes actually lead to stronger health damage was not investigated. Basel (Switzerland). The exposure to aircraft exhaust gases does not end immediately after [...] The art…
Fine Particles From Aircraft Exhaust Become More Harmful Over Time
Researchers at the University of Basel have investigated how fine particles in exhaust emissions from aircraft and marine engines change in the atmosphere. Their findings show that aircraft emissions in particular become more toxic over time.
