Ultra ie dust from the airport: Wartenberg in danger!
The Mayor of Wartenberg, Christian Pröbst, commented concerns about current measurement results that show the influence of ultra -dust (UFP) from the nearby airport. This information was presented during a citizens 'meeting and presented by Oswald Rottmann from the Freising Citizens' Association in front of an interested audience of around 70 people in the Trachtenstadl.
In a comprehensive presentation, Rottmann explained that the measurements were carried out between May and July 2024 in cooperation with the University of Bayreuth and the Helmholtz Center. According to his statements, the ultra -fine particles come to Wartenberg, which is often 16.5 kilometers from the airport, due to the prevailing winds, which is often from the Wehen Airport. Rottmann explained that the production of a ton of kerosene is associated with the release of 20 kilograms of air pollutants.worrying results
The data determined are alarming: On more than 12 % of the days, concentrations of over 10,000 particles per cubic centimeter were measured in Wartenberg, which is classified as high by the World Health Organization (WHO). Rottmann warns that such high values are associated with serious health risks, including an increased risk of brain tumors and an increase in respiratory causes of death. "If you breathe in such air conditions, take almost twice as much as normal," he noted.
The measurement data testify to a serious environmental risk that cannot be ignored. The citizens' association calls for measures to improve air quality. Rottmann suggests that airplanes with electric taxis should be moved until shortly before the runway. This measure could reduce pollutant emissions by 40 to 50 percent. The UFP concentration can also reduce the use of low-sulfur kerosene by 30 to 40 percent, which would be a significant reduction in the air pollution in view of the competitor costs of just one cent per liter.
reactions of the municipality
The concerns about air quality have caused an alarming awareness of the environmental impact of air traffic in the Wartenberg community. Mayor Pröbst, who headed the presentation, was united and explained: "Inhaling this dust is Gwies ned guad." This statement conveys the seriousness of the situation and underlines the need for an offensive information policy and preventive measures.
Despite the serious discussion, there were also positive moments that evening. Local volunteers were awarded during the event, including Johanna Ranft, who was recognized for their services to the care of artist graves. Mayor Pröbst took the opportunity to honor the merits of the committed citizens and to emphasize their important work.
The community seems to become increasingly aware of this problem. The discussion about the limit values and health consequences of ultra -dust will probably continue to focus, while the community is looking for solutions that can both improve air quality and protect the affected citizens. These developments illustrate the challenges in front of which the region is facing and the need for a profound change in aviation policy.
