"Why are our skies clearer in Los Angeles today?  Because mothers went to City Hall in the '50s with gas masks and said that the smog was killing them and their children."

-- Eric Garcetti

Operations at LAX constitute the largest single source of air pollution in Southern California, which has long been the nation’s worst air quality region, often exceeding federal air-quality standards.  According to research by MIT, exhaust particles emitted from airplanes may harm the health of residents across the entire region.  The Southern California Association of Governments predicts that LAX will handle 96.6 million passengers annually by 2040, 21.6 million more than in 2015.  As the volume of passengers and flight operations at LAX and surrounding airports increase year after year, so will the toxic air that blankets the entire LA Basin.
