The effects include higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes and dementia.

Living near an airport increases the chances of developing diseases such as diabetes, dementia or high blood pressure, a new study finds.

The paper, released Tuesday by green NGO Transport & Environment, blames fine particles and elements in jet fuel for the health impacts.

“A total of 280,000 cases of high blood pressure, 330,000 cases of diabetes, and 18,000 cases of dementia may be linked to UFP [ultrafine particle] emissions among the 51.5 million people living around the 32 busiest airports in Europe,” estimate the researchers from the CE Delft consultancy, which authored the study.
