13 assembly finds and declares that:
14 (a) According to the United States environmental protection
15 agency:
16 (I) Aircraft that use leaded aviation gasoline are a leading source
17 of lead emissions in our air;
18 (II) Excessive exposure to lead has many harmful health effects,
19 which can include adverse effects on the nervous system, kidney function,
20 the immune system, reproductive and developmental systems, the
21 cardiovascular system, and the oxygen carrying capacity of blood;
22 (III) Exposure to lead can cause irreversible and life-long harmful
23 health effects in children and pregnant individuals; and
24 (IV) Elevated lead in the environment can result in decreased
25 growth and reproduction in plants and animals and negative neurological
26 effects in vertebrates;
27 (b) According to the United States centers for disease control and
28 prevention, no level of lead exposure is safe for children, and even low
29 levels of lead in their blood are associated with developmental delays,
30 learning difficulties, and behavioral issues;
31 (c) Peer-reviewed research indicates that children who live near
32 airports with significant general aviation activity have elevated levels of
33 lead in their blood and that blood lead levels in children under five
34 increase as levels of atmospheric lead increase;
35 (d) Persistent and loud noise also has harmful health effects,
36 especially for children; and
37 (e) It is therefore necessary, appropriate, and in the best interest
38 of all Coloradans for the state to:
39 (I) Provide financial incentives in the form of an income tax credit
40 and a grant program to reduce the use of leaded aviation gasoline; and
41 (II) Create standards for an airport with significant general
42 aviation activity in an urban or suburban area to follow to notify the
43 surrounding community of its voluntary plans and procedures to reduce
44 the impacts of noise and lead on the community.
