The Aerotoxic Association celebrated its second anniversary on 18th June. We were hoping to bring you this newsletter at that time, but we were still setting up our new-look website at www.aerotoxic.org. If you haven't seen the website since we revamped it, please go and take a look as we have added quite a few links and articles. Feel free to send us any feedback about the content or functioning of the site via the "Contact us" menu. |
 CNN News video: Can airplanes be toxic? This is a 13 minute news item broadcast on 3rd July and features an insightful discussion with reporter Jessica Ravitz followed by an interview with Capt Tristan Loraine who discusses his film "Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines" and the current position of the airline industry on contaminated cabin air. The Aerotoxic Association got a mention as a unique resource for aircrew and passengers. |
 In America, Flight Attendant Terrie Williams is filing a lawsuit against Boeing. In April 2007 she experienced a fume event and since then she’s experiencing having health problems. The Aerotoxic Association will be following her progress with interest. |
 Have you seen the new Aerotoxic Syndrome Google group? Anyone suffering the effects of AS or with an interest in it is welcome to go along and join in or start a discussion. |
 The Vaughn twins who became ill after a fume event on a Southwest Airlines flight in January 2009 were in court on 17th July and the airline has agreed to hand over parts of the air conditioning system for analysis. |
 Going on a holiday or business trip soon? It may be as well to take a “Flyer’s Friend” face mask “just in case”. Remember that no protection is supplied against fume events by any airlines. |
If you know anyone who may be suffering from neurological illness caused by contaminated cabin air or anybody else who might be interested in this newsletter, please forward this email to them.
