These nanoparticles therefore carry organophosphates.
A note from the DGAC clearly recognizes the existence of cabin air contamination.
“The phenomena of release of smoke and/or odors coming from the air conditioning system, known under the terminology of “fume events”, are subject to particular monitoring by the DSAC and the EASA ( …).
The toxic nature of certain substances leads us to take into account in the prevention of such events the risk of the partial or total incapacity of part of the crew to ensure the conduct of the flight,” the note states.
Recently an expert report commissioned by the French courts, which we were able to consult, as part of a trial between an airline and a pilot unable to work, deals with the subject of aerotoxic syndrome. The document also attests to the presence of harmful particles.
“There is scientific evidence which shows that toxic substances may be present in planes, others which show a possible link between these substances and short, medium or long term health effects.”
In addition, motor seals cannot be 100% waterproof. If the oils have been improved to be less harmful, this “does not prejudge the effects of toxicity,” the report continues.
This document was written by three French professors: Xavier Coumoul (INSERM-METATOX) Isabelle Baldi (EPICENE laboratory) and finally Patrick Babin (Rare Diseases Laboratory: Genetics and Metabolism).
According to the pilots and stewards interviewed, these particles act directly on the brain, causing more or less serious disorders.
“We all know the facts.
There are many insidious impacts such as concentration problems, but also more serious ones with loss of license, etc.,” testifies a pilot still in activity who prefers to remain anonymous, for fear of reprisals.
During discussions, we were told that captains had to grab their oxygen masks due to dizziness, loss of consciousness or even a coma.
Serious and imminent danger procedures have been triggered in several French companies.
