The Aerotoxic Association has the support of leading scientists, doctors, lawyers and politicians. It has gained international press coverage.

 

The issues

All passenger jet aircraft draw their cabin air through the engines. Some aircrew and passengers have experienced serious neurological disorders as a result of engine oil fumes leaking into the in the cabin air supply. The Aerotoxic Association was established in 2007 by a former airline pilot to raise awareness of this potentially catastrophic risk and campaign for change.

 
 
Airlines are under pressure to increase efficiency and reduce costs. How long will it be before there is a major disaster caused by crew organo phosphate poisoning?
 

The solutions

Aircraft modifications could be made to isolate the cabin air supply from risk at just £10,000 per aircraft.

Less toxic lubricants are available which do not contain organo phosphates.

 

How your sponsorship can help

The Aerotoxic Association is campaigning for action - we need to maintain this and fund further research into aerotoxic health risks.

We also support affected aircrew and passengers with specialist information and advice.

We are doing all we can to build membership subscription to a level that makes the organisation self supporting but we also offer Sponsorship packages:
 

Sponsorship packages

A strong ‘safe travel’ message that can be used to focus your own marketing.

 
‘You can spend thousands on a First Class ticket which gives you flat bed seats and many luxuries. However money cannot currently protect you from aerotoxicity’

Research suggests that almost 200,000 passengers pa display symptoms of organo-phosphate poisoning but these are usually misdiagnosed by GPs

A family holiday ruined

"When we boarded the aircraft we were all in excellent health. During the flight, my husband and I started feeling very light headed. We had head pain and felt very fatigued.
 
I could not control my bowels and was continuously in the lavatory...
 
About 48 hours after we arrived, we all developed severe flu like symptoms.
It got so bad that we had to seek medical attention and went to the emergency room at a Florida hospital ....
 
This has proven to be a great battle of red tape and ignorance. It has been an extreme mission and has demanded so much of me at a time when I am at my weakest.
 
 
To any passengers out there who have suffered ill health like this during and after flying, report it to the airline, the public health organizations, and anybody who will listen"

The Travel journalist..
 
I stumbled onto your site while attempting to find information on what has happed to me.  I inhaled fumes in the cabin while awaiting a gate for a prolonged period .. I was very sick upon leaving the plane and it escalated until I was hospitalized two weeks ago.  Now ..  I have a serious lung problem and fatigue that makes even doing the dishes difficult. ....  

The 'irony' in this is I write a travel column and this is not what my readers want to hear!"
