"We wish to bring to the urgent attention of Government, Aviation Regulators and the Airline and Aerospace industry the following conclusions, distilled from the conference. (Contaminated Air Protection Conference 20th and 21st April 2005)
There is a workplace problem resulting in chronic and acute illness amongst flight crew (both pilots and cabin crew).
The work place in which these illnesses are being induced is the aircraft cabin environment.
This, we conclude, is resulting in significant flight safety issues, in addition to unacceptable flight crew personnel health implications.
Further, we are concerned the passengers may also be suffering from similar symptoms to those exhibited by the flight crew.
We urgently call upon Government, Industry and Regulators to work in partnership with the cabin environment medical and analyst specialists and representatives from flight crew uniuons to analyse, quantify and remedy the cabin air qulaity problems that we have IDENTIFIED EXIST".
Wiggy,
The above was written when I was still flying a BAe 146, had been very sick for 16 years and didn't have a clue why?
It will be the 4th anniversary of the conference tomorrow and I can assure you the toxic fumes are still the same, people are still sick (and often don't know why?), the Government still claim not to know what is in the fumes.
Please look at all the evidence before you dismiss this serious issue, which has already been worked out by most people - with predictable results, depending on which side of the argument you happen to be.
Both sides can not be right.
Oil fumes do - exactly what it says on the tin....
