Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act of 2025

# Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to partner with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study and report on how aircraft noise and pollution affect human health. Essentially, it's asking for a comprehensive expert review of the health consequences that come from living near airports or under flight paths. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily impacts people living near airports and flight corridors who are exposed to aircraft noise and emissions. It could also affect the FAA and aviation industry if the findings lead to future regulations or policy changes.

Communities concerned about air quality and noise pollution would be the main beneficiaries of having this scientific research conducted. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Stephen Lynch (D-MA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
