Would expanding Toronto's island airport be bad for your lung health?
Cars and airplanes are sources of ultrafine particles in the air, which are really bad for your health. This video report shows that increased downtown traffic and the island airport contribute ultrafine particles to #Toronto's air, reducing air quality.
This could be an important #health reason to not expand the Billy Bishop Airport on the island.

Ultrafine particles are everywhere. Should you be worried? | CBC News
There’s growing concern about a new category of unregulated airborne pollutants, so tiny they can pass through the lungs and into the bloodstream. For The National, CBC’s Ashley Fraser explains ultrafine particles (UFPs) and why scientists say they have the potential to cause major health problems.

RyanA very warm welcome to those that were on #MedMastodon that have made the jump over here to #FediMedi (Yes, you can tell I had such a creative naming scheme when I launched the new site).
We're running #GoToSocial which is new for me and has been a really good learning activity in itself, I'm still getting used to how everything works.
The instance (As far as I can see!) should allow folks to request accounts here which will allow me to make sure we aren't rapidly flooded by spam, the same restrictions we have on our two other Mastodon servers.
We're rocking a 2000 character limit at the moment.
I won't be super active in posting from this account, it's primarily a way for me to manage and administer the instance, you can follow @wild1145 for my general day to day ramblings!
