AEROTOXIC SYNDROME - Callous Disregard from the Aviation Industry Is the aviation industry addressing the issue? Numerous independent scientific studies have produced clear evidence of contaminated cabin air being the cause of chronic health problems. On the other hand, various governments and regulatory authorities have commissioned research, which, while admitting an association between contaminated cabin air and chronic health problems, have stopped short of admitting causation. The aviation industry has tended to use the latter set of research (despite its often dubious scientific quality) to deny the existence of the problem, while ignoring the evidence of the independent studies or victims testimonies. One feature of the complex international situation of aviation is that the regulating authorities, while nominally government agencies, are actually financed and controlled by the aviation industry and therefore follow the industry’s desires. Doubtless mindful of the expense of addressing the issue, industry maintain there is ‘no evidence’ whilst tacitly acknowledging there is a problem; as shown by the introduction of the new Boeing 787. Until now this has been a sustainable strategy because few doctors, aircrew or passengers are aware of aerotoxicity and Aerotoxic Syndrome. aerotoxic.org/about-aerotoxic-syndrome/
