Silent Skies Act introduced to curb noise pollution from airports
U.S. Reps. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Joe Crowley (D-NY) recently introduced the Silent Skies Act in an effort to curb noise pollution from airports.
The legislation would encourage development of technologies to reduce airplane noise, create quieter noise standards for commercial airplanes and urge airlines to use newer passenger jets, which are quieter than older models.
