#Heathrow harms health with noise and pollution and adds to climate change which is already causing extreme Weather #climatechange #environment
The government press release said that the tough new night flights restrictions would reduce noise at Heathrow,Gatwick and Stansted and help residents to get a good night's sleep.
Councils can help to stop most antisocial noise but not aircraft noise
Measurements at LAX indicate a more than 100-fold difference in particale number concentrations between the highest spiķes during takeoffs and the lowest concentrations when no takeoff is occurring
Concentrations of UFPs emitted by vehicular traffic are typically highest on or near roadways but decrease rapidly within 200-300m. In contrast the impact from airports related emissions on UFP concentrations can extend tens of kilometres from airports over large populated areas
I know about eight independent academic studies on ultrafine particles emitted by aircraft landing over large populated areas
Government department Defra report that: A location such as Heathrow Airport where aircraft tend to approach from the east (flying over the London conurbation) there is potential for considerable exposure to UFP from aircraft using Heathrow Airport.
The pollution remains and grows.

To avoid aircraft noise & pollution, cities moved their main airports: Paris 1974, Singapore 1981, Jakarta 1985, Munich 1992, Osaka 1994, Denver 1995, Oslo 1998, Hong Kong 1998, Kuala Lumpur 1998, Athens 2001, Seoul 2001, Bangkok 2006, Doha 2013, Istanbul 2019
Concentrations of UFPs emitted by vehicular traffic are typically highest on or near roadways but decrease rapidly within 200-300m. In contrast the impact from airports related emissions on UFP concentrations can extend tens of kms from airports encompassing large populated areas
Government department Defra report that: A location such as Heathrow Airport where aircraft tend to approach from the east (flying over the London conurbation) there is potential for considerable exposure to Ultrafine Particles (UFP) from aircraft using Heathrow.

Excessive aircraft noise impairs children's long-term memory & reading ability but was reversed when Munich moved its main airport so that previously affected children recovered & previously unaffected children's memory & reading ability became worse.
Sleep researcher professor Matthew Walker claims that sleep deprivation can trigger physical illnesses like diabetes, cancer & heart attacks and mental illness like depression, schizophrenia & Alzheimer's. Night flights must cost NHS £billions
Before this night was 11pm to 7am but changed to 11:30pm to 6am with the addition of up to 16 night flights between these hours with flights often streaming in after 4:30am over our house

Government department Defra's report on Ultrafine Particles in the UK stated: A location such as Heathrow Airport where aircraft tend to approach the airport from the east (flying over the London conurbation) there is potential for considerable exposure to UFP from aircraft.
Labour MP Chris Mullin said of his time as aviation minister from 1999 to 2001: "I learned two things. First, that successive governments have usually given way to them
In 1979 the Terminal 4 planning inspector reported that the noise climate around Heathrow was "unacceptable in a civilised society". He recommended that it be built only if it was the last significant expansion of Heathrow.

Don't forget, this crowd is all about growth. Growth in emissions, growth in noise, growth in cardio vascular disease/mental health, growth in the tourism gap, growth in inequality of opportunities. 'Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell' Edward Abbey
The actress did a good interview for BBC & the High Sheriff of Greater London did a good interview for ITV but the TV new BBC & ITV just had a voice over which said "residents of St Margarets Twickenham collected 2,000 signed forms against night flights in just 2 weeks".
When I first read about the government's intention to de-restrict night flights we collected 2,000 signed forms against night flights in just 2 weeks & took them to Downing St accompanied by an actor & actress & the High Sheriff of Greater London.
