Ask HN: Should I worry about air traffic polution?

1 points by markyc 8y ago ↗ HN

According to Flight Radar 24, I live right under a lot of major air traffic routes between Europe and Asia. Lots of planes go right above my city every day/hour.

How bad is this health wise?

I live in Delhi, India. Recently the air pollution Index recorded a pollution level of 700-800 here. 300 is considered the most hazardous.

I'm no expert, but I think you should be just fine as long as the pollution doesn't reach ground-level. You can look it up.
