Airport readings uncover ultrafine particle spikes and oil residue in Zurich study
During takeoff and landing, planes emit ultrafine aerosol particles. Some particles also contain lubricating oil, as shown by measurements made by researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in the environs of the Zurich Airport. Low-sulfur fuels could be the solution.

okay so…
does this… mean much?..
theres plenty of this fine dust stuff in the air, where some peeps have breathing difficulties, like after fireworks and such…
may be co fusing things tho
The researchers detected up to 300,000 UFPs per cubic centimeter of air. This is more than 10 times the normal background level at the airport at night when no aircraft are operating.
In cities, typical UFP measurements range from about 5,000 to 40,000 particles per cubic centimeter of air, significantly lower than the values measured at the airport.
I think that’s the important bit, just how much more there is compared to “normal” pollution. Well, I just crossposted because I immediately thought of chemtrail memes.
Yeah, all the conspiracy theories about it, are just people that can’t accept that fossil fuels pollute
