Is the air taking years off your life?
Support SAM - Sea-Tac Air Monitoring
Air pollution increases risk of respiratory illness, some cancers and birth defects.
Most dangerous pollutants at Sea-Tac airport are NOT monitored.
Our children and elderly are at highest risk.
Show your support for SAM, Sea-Tac Air Monitoring by contacting government officials.
See the recommended air monitoring study described in the March 2000 report, "Addressing Community Health Concerns Around SeaTac Airport" by: Washington State Dept. of Public Health Washington State Environmental Protection Agency and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency
Report available at Burien Public Library, Burien Washington.
The other two reports are also listed there. Pay special attention to the mortality statistics in the first progress report. Also available here are PDF copies of the second and third progress reports (same as web versions but saved to this site for posterity).
Check out the Health page of this site for copies of some of the references in the the SeaTac Health reports as well as other interesting reports.
