Also they are standing more often than pax, and if the toxins are lighter than air will be more often with their heads in it.
Trouble is with that statement, that in flight the airflow in the cabin is somewhat different. Usually ceiling to floor and about 50lbs weight per (allowed) person. Each type is different & each certification authority requires different volumes but essentially the manufacturers do a lot of testing where air/smoke goes in flight.
