Please take a minute to send a short email the Atlanta airport and let them know that their addition of fragrances and in the airport is a disability access issue and makes the airport dangerous for millions of Americans with asthma, emphysema, and allergies. Speaking about how it will affect their bottom line is important.
A few points to consider addressing include:
1. The use of fragrance blocks access to those with asthma, emphysema, allergies, and sensitivities.
2. Fragrances adhere to clothing, skin, and hair like cigarette smoke and remaining with the traveler their entire trip.
3. The use of fragrances increases the chances of breathing emergencies in flight.
4. The use of fragrances increases the chances of lawsuits against the airport.
5. Fragrances contain 3,000 - 5,000 chemicals, mostly petrochemicals, 80% have not been tested for human safety.
6. Fragrances are known respiratory irritants
7. This is an ADA compliance concern for passengers as well as airport personnel.
8. Fragrance companies use deceit and trickery to promote that fragrances enhance travelers experiences because they have a vested financial interest in selling their products, a marketing scam to take businesses for what they can sell you at the expense of public health and bottom-line profits.
In summary, fragrances will not enhance travelers experiences, they will create lawsuits, medical emergencies, and prevent access to millions... causing financial losses to the airport. Please discontinue the practice of adding fragrances to the air.
