JW411, that's a very interesting point you've raised as it hits upon the question; "do we have different tolerance levels to this nasty stuff"? Perhaps the medical experts ought to examine that question
For my part, I can always detect the distinctive 'sweaty socks' type obnoxious smell as it enters the cabin but thankfully have not been physically affected by it. Normally, I would just isolate the offending pack immediately as the problem occurs but I have known situations where both packs have delivered the smell.
I certainly believe those of my colleagues who complain of adverse medical affects, and I also believe those pilots who say "I cannot smell what you say you can smell".
The complaint is now out in the open so perhaps it's time for a proper scientific study to determine 'what exactly is happening' and, 'is our health REALLY being affected by Organo Phosphate Poisoning'?
