,lee7 introduced the following bill2    
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,transportation and ,infrastructure  ,a 
,,bill  ,to direct the ,administrator of
 the ,federal ,aviation ,administration 
to conduct a study relating to ultrafine
 particles1 and for other purposes4  #a4
 ,short title ,this ,act may be cited as
 the ,protecting ,airport ,communities  
from ,particle ,emissions ,act4  #b4    
,airborne ultrafine particle study  7a7 
,in general ,the ,administrator of the  
,federal ,aviation ,administration shall
 enter into appropriate arrangements    
with the ,national ,academy of ,sciences
 to conduct a study that--  7#a7        
summarizes the relevant literature and  
studies done on airborne ultrafine      

particles worldwide2  7#b7 focuses on   
large hub commercial airports in--  7,a7

,district of ,columbia2  7,i7 ,atlanta2 
and  7,j7 any other metropolitan large  
hub airport identified by the           
,administrator2  7#c7 specifically looks
 at-- 7,a7 characteristics of ,u,f,ps   
present in the air2  7,b7 spatial and   
temporal distributions of ,,ufp         
concentrations2  7,c7 primary sources of
 ,u,f,ps2  7,d7 how much aircraft and   
airport operations are contributing to  
the distribution of ,,ufp concentrations
 when compared to other sources2  7,e7  
potential health effects associated with
 elevated ,,ufp exposures1 including    
heart and lung diseases1 asthma1 nervous
 system disorders1 and other health     
effects1 that have been considered in   
previous studies2 and  7,f7 potential   

,,ufp exposures1 especially to          
susceptible and vulnerable groups2  7#d7
 identifies measures1 including the use 
of sustainable aviation fuels1 intended 
to reduce emissions from aircraft and   
airport operations and assess potential 
impacts on emissions related to ,u,f,ps2
 and  7#e7 identifies important         
information gaps related to             
understanding relationships between     
,,ufp exposures and health effects1     
contributions of aviation-related       
emissions to ,,ufp exposures1 and the   
effectiveness of mitigation measures4

shall coordinate with the ,administrator
 of the ,environmental ,protection      
,agency1 the ,secretary of ,health and  
,human ,services1 and any other agency  
that the ,administrator deems           
appropriate to provide data and other   
assistance necessary for the study4  7c7
