Ultra ie dust at the airport: Offenbach affected compared to Frankfurt?

The question of air quality around Frankfurt Airport remains a hot topic. Current measurements of the State Office for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG) show that the burden of ultra -dust has significant differences in the first eight months of the year. In Offenbach in particular, where the measuring station in the weather park is positioned under two approach lines, moderate values were recorded.

While Offenbach has comparatively mild results, the southern districts of Frankfurt are more affected. HLNUG has found that not only the flying aircraft are responsible for the ultra -dust pollution, but above all the airport operation itself. Activities such as starting and landing as well as driving the aircraft on the ground with ongoing engines are likely sources for this environmental load factor. In addition, the wind contributes to the spread of the fine particles.

Health risks by ultra -dust

ultra -ie dust represents a potential health risk. These tiny particles have the ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and get into the bloodstream, which may cause serious health problems. The difference to coarser fine dust lies in the size of the particles: ultrafein dust is so small that it can penetrate far -reaching and unnoticed into human physiology.

In order to examine the effects of ultra-dust on health in the Rhine-Main area, a comprehensive study was initiated. The results of this investigation are expected in a few years and could provide important findings about long -term health risks. While the air measurements already indicate the urgency of the topic, it remains important for residents and health authorities to pay attention to the developments and, if necessary, take measures.

A continuous exchange between the residents and the responsible bodies is essential to minimize the effects of airport and aviation on the quality of life of the citizens. The topic of ultra -dust clearly shows that comprehensive consideration of the air quality is necessary to minimize possible health risks and increase transparency in terms of environmental pollution.
