[qouote=simonpro]Apologies for my ignorance on this issue, but is there any scientific evidence for aerotoxic syndrome?[/quote]

There is plenty of proof. Aside form the numerous incident reports and court cases (which many plaintiffs have won), there is the concrete knowledge of what organophosphate poisoning does to the human physiology and neurology, mainly from experience within the agricultural community. It is also an establiished fact that oils and skydrol create organophosphates when they break down due to the high temperatures encountered within the bleed air system.
