What do you know different from the article lad, come-on, spill it.
"...a stewardess was taken to hospital for tests after suffering breathing problems, said airport spokesman Philippe Bellissent. A second cabin crew member was taken ill but did not require hospital treatment, he added."

The flightdeck crew could be on 100% oxygen supplied at positive pressure but do passenger oxygen systems have this function or is it mixed with cabin air?
If it's a general question then you should really ask it in tech log, however you are correct, the passenger oxygen supply is mixed with air from the cabin, it is only designed to help with breathing in the event of a decompression and it has absolutely no value if there is smoke in the cabin, which I stress there wasn't in this case.

SKYWAVE,
Was the pilots and crew hospitalised and if so were the passenger's informed?
And you are quite right passenger's do not recieve the benefit of clean fresh air even in the event of oxygen masks being used??

Capt and F/O are both fine, they did not smell anything, nor see any smoke. It was only the CC who informed them about that.
The CC were taken to hospital just to have a check, they are both fine.
There was no smoke onboard, all pax fine.
My thought is some kind of gas (produced of leaked from cargo) that came into the cabin.
Normal landing in NCE. Very well handled- all the crew!!
Happy days

So a whole plane load of people and apparently its only 2 cabin crew who get taken to hospital for a check up. One would have thought everyone on board would have been exposed to these mysterious gases and should have been treated the same as the CC.

Just speculating, but either the whatever it was leaked into the galley area or the CC were just heavier affected for the simple reason of running around doing service and not relaxing in their seats as the average PAX. Just a guess.

What happened to the story? Seems to have vanished, and on clicking the link, I get an article about a Ryanair incident.
If any passengers or crew are suffering symptoms following the incident, they can log them at Toxic Free Airlines

Bird On, you are looking at this from the wrong perspective. I would say the cabin crew didn't go to hospital for treatment so much as for investigation. If you like they were offered up as guinea pigs for blood tests that the passengers wouldn't have liked!
The cabin crew were the only people on board reporting symptoms. Had any passengers reported symptoms, they also would have been offered any medical assistance appropriate.
