Lives less than 2 mile away from JFK. Seriously inquiring what exactly was and still breathing in for 28 plus years and how it effects my health and what can be done.

The FAA gives little consideration for the people who live near airports. The profitability of the airline industry appears to be the highest priority, for sure.

Clean air for minority, let the planes go over HOWARD BEACH like they use to before the whites petition.

Airplane flyovers more frequent and very disturbing. I am very concerned about the noise and pollution to the neighborhood of Laurelton. Something has to be done now!

The health and well being of children and adults in the 5 boroughs and Long Island is more important than any financial gains of private industry, local governments or individuals who stand to gain by ignoring the noise, air pollution and environmental impact of endless airplane traffic and reckless expansion of airports in the New York metropolitan area.

Airplane noise is a quality of life issue. Watching TV even with windows closed, and trying to enjoy ones backyard event during the summer is a challenge. However the most unpleasant of all is sleep deprivation (planes flying overhead after midnight). I realize that we need the airport for our travel needs, and that it provides employment for many but having constant noise overhead in Springfield Gardens almost every day is extremely unpleasant, not to mention unhealthy.

I watch airplanes fly over Rochdale Village in Jamaica, Queens every minute. The Jamaica community has cancer and diabetes.

NYC has the worst air pollution of any city in the country, according to a recent report in The NY Times.

Even 18 miles from BWI those under the FAA super hwy in the sky are exposed to environmental carcinogens and the FAA has no plans to change this.
