Contaminated Air On Commercial Aircraft

EDM number 1017 in 2007-08, proposed by Paul Flynn on 22/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Aviation, Industrial health and safety and Pollution.

That this House is concerned that medical and scientific evidence shows that as many as 200,000 passengers a year are exposed to air contaminated with organophosphates and hydrocarbon compounds on UK-registered aircraft and that the number of contaminated events in one recent year reported by the British Airline Pilots Association were a record high; regrets the lack of UK research into the danger of exposure to pyrolised engine oils; notes that effective filtration systems costing less than £10,000 per aircraft are available and calls for their mandatory use to reduce serious risks to the health of the travelling public and operating crews; and believes that passengers should be informed when they have been exposed to air contamination on UK registered aircraft.

This motion has been signed by a total of 75 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
