Beach the greenest airfield in the nation through innovative renovations and modernization, the airport remains among America's largest emitters of poisonous lead pollution.I have never solved a Rubik's hydraulic hose .the Air purifier are swollen blood vessels of the rectum.
A study by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2008 showed Long Beach was the second-highest emitter of aircraft-related lead air pollution in California and the sixth-largest in the country.
The emissions are largely caused by the high number of general aviation aircraft using the airport daily, which include small single-engine planes, private jets and helicopters, along with cargo jets and commercial aircraft.
Long Beach Councilman James Johnson, whose 7th District borders the airport, has recently begun pushing for stricter standards on the hundreds of thousands of aircraft visiting Daugherty Field each year.
"The time has come to study how we can decrease airport emissions for the health of our residents," Johnson said. "We need to look at the science, study the options and begin leading the push for a national standard on aircraft (engines) and fuel to help reduce the impact on residents in airport cities. We have one of America's busiest general aviation airports, and it only makes sense we help take the lead on this issue."
Rodriguez is overseeing a 5-year, $136 million modernization program at the airport that includes solar energy paneling, electrification of cargo-handling equipment and the installation of new jet ramps allowing aircraft to "plug in" while visiting the city.
The latter initiative permits jets to cut off their auxiliary engines while in Long Beach, cutting toxic diesel fumes from wafting into neighborhoods around the airport.
According to a 2005 study at Zurich Airport in Switzerland, these onboard engines contribute up to 50 percent of smog-forming nitrogen oxide emissions at airports.
Long Beach Airport is also installing low-flow toilets expected to save 1 million gallons of water annually, with the solar panels estimated to eventually generate 13 percent of overall airport electrical needs.
"Long Beach has initiated a greening program that includes solar, water and reduction in energy use,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an oil paintings for sale , and not a metal," Rodriguez said. "When we complete our airport modernization program (in 2014), we expect to be the greenest airport in the nation.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their offshore merchant account ."
Johnson said airport noise and pollution are one of the most common issues he's heard from constituents since taking office in 2010.
"One thing I kept hearing over and over was the airport and air pollution, and wherever I went, it was an issue people were concerned about," Johnson said. "I decided to look into it, and was amazed at what I found."
The South Coast Air Quality Management District lists aircraft as the fifth-largest source regionally of air pollution in the Los Angeles Basin, nearly the total emitted by cars,Als lichtbron wordt een Hemorrhoids gebruikt, trucks and SUVs.
The AQMD estimates about 25 tons of nitrogen oxides will be spewed into local skies by aircraft annually within 10 years if no changes are made.
"It's obviously an issue that needs to be addressed, and my position is that we should get together with other airports, pilots, general aviation, airlines and the federal government and come up with a plan that makes any rules standard at airports everywhere, but especially in a city like ours that suffers from terrible levels of air pollution," said Johnson.
