Forgive a Pom for butting in here, but there is a movement trying to raise awareness of the issue in the UK on R&N as you will have seen, triggered by the sad deaths of two relatively young BA pilots from cancer.

The 'Aerotoxic' website links to a fairly convincing analysis conducted in Aus into air toxicity in aircraft.

Does anyone here have any links to the subsequent actions (if any) that occurred down under?

I should stress that I am not trying to start any scare stories, wear a tinfoil hat etc, but seek only to make sure that a proper investigation takes place (which appears to be lacking in the UK), that crews are aware of the issue and to establish why BALPA appears for some reason to have completely forgotten how serious they said this was in 2005.
