Re: Medical effects of contaminated air CONFIRMED

I can assure you that if you fly the 146 every day for 5 or 6 days on the run you get a fairly good idea of the same smell every time and what might be responsible!
I did, for five years or so. Five years of it, mostly earlies so I know the smell well. Thing is, neither I, nor any of the people I flew with, or any of the crew at our base, ever complained of any of the symptoms you describe.

Your conspiracy theory aside, several attempts HAVE been made to re-create and measure the problem. In the company I worked for, aircraft that had had a fumes incident were grounded and were test-flown by a volunteer crew (with no work done to the aircraft in the interim), who then had their blood checked for any of the toxins in question. The results were negative, nothing was ever detected.

It's a bit irritating when you can't just accept a few simple facts.
You haven't presented any facts, other than a description of how you felt!
