Crew Health.

Aerotoxic syndrome is a collection of symptoms attributed to the long term (sometimes short term) inhalation of oil contaminated cabin air. Unknown to many aircrew is that turbine engine oil contains organophosphates. Potent neurotoxic chemicals. These chemicals become even more lethal once heated, as is the case in jet engine use. Thousands of crew globally have become very ill as the result of long term exposure. Your colleagues are amoung the victims! Symptoms of early onset aerotoxic syndrome are many and varied. If you are currently suffering symptoms, eg headaches or dizziness, cognitive difficulties, numb hands or feet, blurred vision, tinnitus, gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure or cholesterol please make contact me and I may be able to assist you or someone you know with important information.

Why don't you add:
  • Chronic noise pollution in the 744s
  • Filthy bunk areas
  • lethal steps in NA during the Winter
