Periodic Table of the Elements displaying particulates discovered during testing by Flight Pattern Kids

Samples of the environment (around the airport) has been met with it’s controversies in terms of completion and it’s accuracy.

Testing these particulates can be expensive to achieve the accuracy of the composition of the particulates found in a sample when testing for specialty metals and other elements.

On a recent discovery, to see if particulate collectors were available for Raspberry Pi computers, shows the price range from $30.00 all the way to $650.00 just for measuring smoke and CO2 (something under consideration for air quality testing during forest fires). Testing for the elements found in the flight path, comes at a higher price.

One point that has been expressed in this podcast series, is the weather and temperature changes the particulates in the flight path.

If the visibility is low due to fog, that means the jet fuel vapors can be detected in the air when being outdoors near Sea Tac.

Detailed testing from Sea Tac Airport produced the following results on the Periodic Table of the Elements displayed on this web page.
