Stand down wind of an airliner and inhale, then tell me there's no
significant air pollution emanating from turbine engines. When I
worked at LAX I was nearly overcome with the fumes from these fire
breathers as they taxied by.


A bad smell doesn't equate to pollution.


I would expect, that inhaling raw hydrocarbons can be hazardous to
your health. But I could be wrong. :-)

Perhaps the situation is different at altitude, and the turbine
exhaust only produces water and CO2, but I have no way of obtaining
first hand knowledge of that.
