There have been studies the air around Logan Airport in Boston are detrimental to your health due to microscopic PM 1.0 emissions. Just curious to know if there have been any studies like this for Dublin Airport. Thanks for your help. Kaku

link to the study? did they control for times when the airport wasn't busy (i.e. to allow for particulate emissions from other sources)?

The US isn't a great comparison for air pollution.
They have reset mercury and acid gas emission laws for fossil fuel power plants back to 2012 levels. Which is actually an improvement on the current standards.
