Studies have demonstrated that people living near high traffic roads. Fortunately lead free gas has resulted in a decrease of blood lead levels in children in these areas.

Hopefully further analysis will reveal just what substances have been found deposited inside the bleed air ducts of dismantled aircraft. Remember though that volatiles may just pass through.

At present aircrew are involuntary contaminant detectors to a far greater degree than the pax.
