"The Impacts of Heathrow Airport on Hillingdon"
Dr John Aldous BA, MBBS, MSc, FFPH
Deputy Director of Public Health, Hillingdon PCT
Heathrow airport is the busiest airport in Europe. It occupies
11% of the total land area of Hillingdon and over 60 million
passengers pass through Heathrow each year. It is Hillingdon's
largest business site employing over 60,000 people, and creates
many thousands of other jobs related to the airport in
surrounding areas. The airport is at the centre of local,
national and international transport networks, and is the UK's
largest bus and coach hub.
This presentation describes what is known about the public
health impacts of Heathrow Airport on Hillingdon. A wide
definition of health is used that encompasses physical,
psychological and social well-being, not purely episodes of
illness or mortality. Areas that are covered include:
environmental impacts such as noise and air pollution: the
effects on health services; and economic and community impacts.
Dr. Aldous qualified as a medical practitioner in 1982 from
Cambridge University and Charing Cross Hospital Medical School.
Following training in general practice, he undertook an MSc in
Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine and then became a lecturer in public health at St
Mary's Hospital Medical School. Since 1994, he has been an NHS
consultant in Public Health in Hillingdon. His work has spanned
the whole range of NHS public health activities from detailed
planning of health services to work on health inequalities and
the wider determinants on health.
