Petition Regarding Air Pollution Generated by Airplanes Near Major Canadian Cities
We, the undersigned, Canadian residents, pray the Government of Canada to act quickly so that :
• The affected populations undergo an epidemiological assessment;
• The airport authorities be subjected to comprehensive impact studies
(economic, environmental, health, social and urbanistic) and to public
hearings during major expansion works;
• An independent body, accountable to the Parliament, be created to
deal with nuisances arising from airport activities such as air pollution;
• The airport authorities be subjected to annual review by the Auditor
General of Canada;
• That the Canadian Parliament legislates to modernize airport activity
laws and regulations to ensure public health and environmental
protection.

Why is this important?
Considering that :
• Air pollution generated by air traffic has increased significantly above
major Canadian cities ;
• The quality of life and health of citizens are greatly impaired by
low-level flying aircrafts;
• Scientific evidence shows that air pollution generated by aircrafts
brings serious health concerns and has effects notably on the pulmonary and cardiac functions of humans;
• Inaction of Canadian airport authorities and their refusal to implement
concrete solutions to minimize the nuisance caused by aircraft flyovers
is obvious.
