In response to a congressional request, the committee will conduct a study and issues a report on lead emissions from piston-powered general-aviation aircraft. The committee’s report will include consideration of existing non-leaded fuel alternatives, environmental concentrations of lead near airports where piston-powered aircraft are used, and potential mitigation measures to reduce environmental lead concentrations.
The committee's report is expected to be published in the fall of 2020.
