There are also indications that the emission of these microscopic dust particles from aircraft has adverse consequences for pregnant women and the development of unborn children.

This is apparent from a large and still confidential study by the RIVM, which will be published this week and is already in the hands of De Telegraaf. The researchers looked, among other things, at deaths within a radius of 50 kilometers around Schiphol. They consider it ‘probable’ that there is a link between deaths due to cardiac arrhythmias and high concentrations of ultrafine particles.
