Toxic Air Syndrome

In case that your readers are not aware of its existence, may i suggest that fliers (as well as Flight and cabin crew), look at the following websites to acquaint themselves with this phenomenon: www.aerotoxic.org and www.aopis.org.

With more awareness of the conditions, pressure can be brought about to get some independent research undertaken to ascertain what should happen and gain compensation for those affected by the onset of this condition.

Research on this subject is apparently on its way from the government. A committee set up by the UK Department for Transport looked at data supplied by the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) re the link between pilot/cabin crew health and cabin air contaminants, and found no causal link - but the DoT has said it 'hopes' to begin a study either late this year or early next year......

Suggest that all read this article in the 'Daily Telegraph' online or in Saturday February 23rd Travel section of the printed edition.
