Subject: Small plane noise is destroying my life
From: Gerald Sylvester Date: 11/24/2004 12:24 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: *** Snip *** San Quentin is closer. In fact, since the airport Ignacio (not sure of the name but that is how it is labelled on the SFO terminal chart) is closed, it might suit his preference for a noiseless environment. *** Snip *** Gerald I heard on the news recently that some of the limousine liberals in that Blue state want to find a "better" place for San Quentin. It turns out that the real estate San Quentin sits on is worth boxcars-full of cash and they want it so they can build some new estates on it. Ed No matter how high or great the throne, What sits on it T'is the same as your own. |

Remember, it was a home-built plane that invented aviation in the first place, and a home-built plane that carried our most recent astronauts into space. General aviation is where most of our true aeronautical advances are coming from. Remember that most general aviation aircraft were built in the 70s using technology from the 40s-50s, and their antique engines are burning leaded gasoline. Aviation fuel, 100LL, contains 2 grams of lead per gallon. Approximately 75% of this lead is emitted in the exhaust as lead particulates. EPA Data: Avgas 100LL contains about 2 grams of lead per gallon, and is typically the most commonly used aviation gasoline" "However, alkyl-lead compounds combine with other compounds during the combustion process to form lead halides (e.g., PbBrCl, 2PbBrClCNH4Cl, etc.) that are subsequently emitted as microparticulates in exhaust." "Additionally, through the combustion process, alkyl-lead in gasoline is converted to lead halides and exhausted into the air where it can be inhaled. These lead halides create the potential for exposure to lead through ingestion of soil or dust containing lead, and ingestion of lead-contaminated food or water." http://www.epa.gov/pbt/pubs/Alkyl_le...plan_final.pdf "Lead poisoning can result from the ingestion or inhalation of inorganic lead compounds emitted as exhaust through the combustion process (as a direct result of the use of alkyl-lead in gasoline)." http://www.epa.gov/pbt/alkyl.htm However, as gasoline containing alkyl-lead is still currently being used as fuel (particularly for race cars and airplanes), certain subpopulations may remain at risk. Lead particles can remain airborne for some time following the initial introduction into the atmosphere. Therefore, residents in the vicinity of race tracks and general aviation airports where leaded gasoline is still being used as fuel may have an increased risk of lead exposure." http://www.epa.gov/pbt/pubs/Alkyl_le...plan_final.pdf ....However, the Agency is concerned about any sub-populations that may remain at risk, for example, individuals exposed at racetracks or general aviation airports. The Agency also recognizes that these remaining risks should not be taken lightly. EPA does not have the authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate the use of leaded gasoline for the racing industry, and the authority to regulate aircraft fuel lies with the Federal Aviation Administration. http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/...-23/a18588.htm |

This latest posting is just one of a series of scares that he has posted. His arguments sound convincing but are really disingenuous. Truth is: the lead exposure from GA operations is less than 3% of the lead exposure due to the old, leaded, car gas that has been phased out. You probably get more lead from drinking water than from GA aircraft. |
