Do you Smell Noxious Aircraft Fumes?

Do the Fumes make you close your windows or run into your House?

Do you keep your kids from playing outside or stop working in your Yard  when the fumes are thick?  Are you or your children having any problems with Asthma?

Has Bay Area Air Quality Management (1-800-334-6367) told you that they have no "jurisdiction" over Air Craft Fumes? Have you been told by the Airport staff that these fumes are not Airport related; or that the Airport never receives any fume complaints?

We now have a  "Fumes" Complaint Line!

As a result of resident concerns, Jerry Hetnar, Environmental Department, of the San Jose Airport is logging dates, times, and addresses of people who are smelling Aircraft fumes.  His phone number is 408-501-7706.  You can even leave a message after working hours with your fumes complaint
date and time.

Don't hesitate to call and log your fume concern!  It is only by speaking up and raising our voices that we will get heard!  Many people calling will lead to some kind of investigation of those pungent fumes and perhaps something to monitor our most precious resource --- OUR AIR!!

Live Radar Flight Tracks allows you to watch the movement of flights and air traffic patterns currently in use within the Bay Area. This map will show flight tracks of aircraft arriving and departing from SFO, Oakland, and San Jose Airport and other nearby general aviation airports. Red plane icons are arrivals, green are departures, black are General Aviation or small propeller aircraft and helicopters. The white icons are aircraft   transiting the area and bypassing local airports. The icon sizes are uniform regardless of the actual size of the aircraft. 

Map showing the cumulative effect of 17 of Santa Clara County's leading 'High Tech' Hazardous Air Pollutants identified by SVTC that are contained in the CEP database and have an EPA Benchmark for cancer. The risk for cancer is much higher than the Clean Air Act goal of 1 in 1 million individuals anywhere in Santa Clara County. The cancer risk ranges from 18 to 876 additional cancer cases - a high of over 800 additional cancer cases per million individuals - resulting from exposure to the subset of High Tech chemicals that SVTC has identified.
