“… what do you think are some of the most urgent changes needed in aircraft design or maintenance to protect passenger and crew health?”"
Frank from LIES ARE UNBECOMING asked me this and many more questions. Please read the entire interview on his Substack page:
Action is needed by decision-makers, the private sector, and other key stakeholders to address cabin air pollution. The aviation industry and the airlines themselves must be prevented from being able to exempt themselves from the regulations.
Servicing, regular cleaning, and replacement of filters must be made mandatory and subject to regular unannounced checks by independent bodies, mandatory filters in all aircraft, and mandatory calibrated gas detectors – not only by recommendations that will be ignored. Example: the United States vehicle emission standards are set through a combination of legislative mandates enacted by Congress through Clean Air Act (CAA) amendments from 1970 onwards. Why not for airplanes?
Until all of those changes are in effect, all airlines must have adequate emergency equipment including O2 in their medical kit –there are so many medical emergencies as it is without even mentioning fumes, that it is unacceptable that some don’t supply oxygen. The working crew must be allowed to use the oxygen when in need and must not be hindered from going immediately for a checkup at the nearest ER.
