BBC - brain damaged pilots

Beanbag,

I am still uncomfortable that, as the BBC reported recently (again), BBC - Today - Can planes be poisonous?
many young pilots are being diagnosed with brain damage and yet those same young, keen pilots are not being informed of the possible, known risks from contaminated air.

Officially, it still isn't an accepted risk despite all the evidence.

It may well affect only around 30% of people exposed but it strikes me as a little short sighted to keep this subject - so secret?

Aerotoxic Assiociation - Support for sufferers of Aerotoxic Syndrome for the facts.
