As Central Oregon increases leaded operations by thousands of percentage points at every airport in the region, one can no longer say it's "good for our community" with a straight face.

As Central Oregon increases leaded operations by thousands of percentage points at every airport in the region, one can no longer say it's "good for our community" with a straight face. You musty also know water, crop, livestock, runoff and wildlife uptake, get poisoned and redistribute lead!

YOU MUST GET THE LEAD OUT OF OUR AIRPORTS IMMEDIATELY! People don't just die & get stupid from lead & excessive decibels,  they suffer great physical & emotional pain! There's LONG TERM LOW LEVEL BLOOD LEAD, SLEEP DEPRIVATION & EXCESSIVE AVIATION NOISE.  AND FOR WHAT? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY JUSTIFY SUCH UNNECESSARY DEATH & SUFFERING?!

Quotes from article by Oregon Aviation Watch:

"According to a new study in the journal Lancet Planetary Health, an estimated 5.455 million adults worldwide died in 2019 from cardiovascular disease (CVD) attributable to lead exposure"

"The global cost of lead exposure in 2019 came to $6 trillion in U.S. dollars"

"Sadly, government sanctioned aviation policy is responsible for 70% of all airborne lead pollution in the U.S. The biggest contributors are airports used by piston engine aircraft. Though portrayed as economic engines, these facilities are actually contributing to higher death rates and increased economic costs as a direct result of pilots who ruthlessly spew homes, neighborhoods, schools, recreational areas, prime farmland, and waterways of local residents with multiple doses of lead on a daily basis.

Local, state and federal policies that encourage these relentless aerial assaults against defenseless residents appear to be a manifestation of how widespread IQ loss has shaped U.S. aviation policy. After all, it’s just ‘plane stupid’ to knowingly poison local communities with lead, despite mountains of evidence attesting to the highly toxic nature of this deadly pollutant.
