Standard Letter to Senator Schumer (please fax to 212-486-7693) :
Honorable Senator Charles Schumer,
I am a resident of Brooklyn and want to know what your office is doing about the ever-increasing number of aircraft assaulting our neighborhoods with aircraft noise and toxic emissions well above levels considered safe for humans. Two organizations in Brooklyn -- Prospect Park Quiet Skies and Brooklyn Against Aircraft Noise -- have been systematically recording certified decibel levels from the constant stream of aircraft overhead, and their reports clearly indicate our neighborhoods are being subjected to decibel levels well in excess of the 65 dBA allowed by law. In fact, according to the Federal Regulations Part 150, exposing communities to a constant, systematic assault of decibel levels in excess of 65 dBA constitutes an "unlawful taking of property".
We would like to know what, if anything, your office is doing to restore sanity to the airspace over our homes and stem the resultant drop in property values that historically occur in urban areas that are subjected to this kind of air traffic and pollution.
Our families and children are being crop-dusted with toxic jet fuel emissions that we are being forced to breath on a daily basis. Thank you very much,
Brooklyn Resident and Voter.
