Grant Programs for Aircraft and Airport Noise and Emissions Research
This act aims to establish grant programs to research and collect data on noise and emissions from aircraft and airports in nearby communities. The collected information will be used to develop mitigation strategies, especially for disproportionately impacted areas, improving residents' quality of life and health.
Key points
Noise and Emissions Research: A grant program will be established to measure noise and emissions (including greenhouse gases and harmful particles) in communities near airports, using advanced technology.
Community Support: Collected data will help identify the most affected areas and develop strategies to reduce negative impacts, including through air quality and public health improvement programs.
Mitigation Actions: Grant funds can be used for noise mitigation packages for homes and schools, public health promotion programs, and healthcare services for individuals affected by noise and pollution.
