Prevent Dangerous Toxic Fumes Being Inhaled on Planes
Make air travel safer and provide clean air for passengers and crew members.
Why is this important?
We want to tell the aviation industry to clean up their act.
Most of you fly on aircraft. Did you know that the air you are supplied to breathe onboard on all aircraft, except the Boeing 787, comes from the engines?
This air is provided unfiltered and is known to become contaminated with a complex cocktail of chemicals including organophosphates (many chemical weapons and pesticides are organophosphate based).
This occurs when hazardous jet engine oils or hydraulic fluids contaminate the air supply. The High Court of Australia ruled in 2010 that inhaling these fumes is harmful yet aircraft have NO form of detection systems to warn when the air is contaminated, NO passenger is ever told when they are exposed and pilots have been totally incapacitated in flight from these exposures.
Passengers and crews deserve a safe environment to fly or work in. As a former airline captain who has studied this issue for nearly 15 years, please can you support a global campaign to make air travel safer:
1. Help support the development of a blood test to prove exposure to contaminated air on aircraft at: www.gcaqe.org/bloodtest
2. Help support the documentary film AEROTOXIC that will tell the whole story at: www.aerotoxicfilm.com
3. Become informed. Read the educational brochure at: http://gcaqe.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/GCAQE-CAQ-Brochure-17-MAY-2015.pdf
Thank you.
