Got a kick reading Ms. Flores’ May 21 guest perspective about less boat and airplane noise pollution.Â
Please study effects from localized noise, air pollution, fossil fuel consumption in the Bay Area from lawn mowers, weed wackers, leaf blowers, construction and online delivery trucks. They are incessant in my middle-class tract home neck of the woods.
These are at least equally important for public health in my view.
Forget boats and airplanes.

Hopefully, your professors at SJSU would support you to study these effects of localized pollution on residents in some detail.
There should be standards for homes for sound pollution. I live in a pretty garbage rental. 1960's windows, no AC. Yet when it is hot we sleep with window open. When SFO is running it is awful getting woken up for thoe 130 & 530am cargo flights. They fly right over our home. This house was never designed to sustain the air traffic noise it is now subjected to.
