Bad Air!

Does anyone have any info on the source, or indeed validity of this news brief from Teletext?

Aeroplane air quality slammed
Thousands of air passengers are being put at risk by toxic engine fumes leaking into aeroplane cabins, says the Global Cabin Air Quality Executive.

It is calling for a public inquiry into the issue of "contaminated air" on UK aircraft.

The group says there is substantial evidence that numerous chemicals known to damage the immune and nervous system leak into cabin air supplies every day.

Who are the "Global Cabin Air Quality Executive? Who sits on such an executive?
And why are UK aircraft seemingly singled out for this complaint?
I must say its the first i've heard on this subject!
PG.
