The aviation industry is relying on Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) to reach their climate goals

But NETs are #greenwash ⬇️🤮

We need urgent flight reduction not false solutions ⛔

Stay Grounded Network Feb 22, 2024

Also those inside the plane face health risks (especially frequent flyers, cabin crew & pilots) from thrombosis to aerotoxic syndrome & cancer

Aircraft noise, emissions and the related health issues fall disproportionately on low-income communities surrounding airports, and airport workers - while those flying frequently are mostly the wealthy.

According to the latest estimate, ozone and PM alone cause ~74,300 premature deaths globally per year, this doesn't include all aircraft emissions

Kerosene is not subject to the same standards as car fuel: reducing its sulphur content would limit dangerous levels of UFP

Air quality limits exist for particulate matter - but not for ultrafine particles (#UFP)!

As they are tiny, UFP penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream. This affects millions of people, not only those living around an #airport but also several kilometres downwind.

#Aircraft #noise can lead to serious health problems, from heart disease to mental health issues, sleep disturbance and hearing damage.

E.g. estimates say night-time aircraft noise near Frankfurt airport leads to 23,400 hospitalisations and 3,400 deaths a year.
