Gezondheidsklachten door vervuilde cabinelucht:
 Nog steeds geen uniforme registratie en discussie over erkenning. 📅 7 mei -19.30u – Informatieavond Badhoevedorp Feiten, medische inzichten en actuele ontwikkelingen. 📷 Info & tickets via QR op de flyer. #luchtvaart

EurECCA position paper: cabine-lucht is een structureel risico, geen incidenteel probleem. ➡️ focus op cumulatieve blootstelling ➡️ ontbreken EU-kaders voor detectie & bescherming Aanleiding: recente Franse uitspraak Vraag: volgt beleid? #luchtvaart #aerotoxic #arbeidsgezondheid

Het Britse parlement start een nieuw onderzoek naar vervuilde cabinelucht en “fume events”. Opvallend: na decennia aan signalen is dit probleem nog steeds niet opgelost — en staat het nu opnieuw politiek op de agenda. Wat betekent dit voor Nederland? #cabinair #luchtvaart

The Unique Challenges of Aircraft Cabin Air Quality and Fume Events A 70 year old phenomena that has yet to be resolved! “We all like to think that the flight that we take is one of the safest and most efficient ways to move around the world. there is a hidden issue …..” ⬇️

Deze uitspraak is een grote doorbraak in Frankrijk, wat betekent dit voor andere landen? In Nederland spreekt binnenkort vakbond NVLT (Nederlandse Vereniging van Luchtvaarttechnici) over cabineluchtproblematiek tijdens de informatieavond in Badhoevedorp van Fly Aware. #NVLT #VNC

Incident: Transavia France B738 near Lyon on Jan 5th 2026, smoke in cockpit #B738 #FHTVY #TO8098 avherald.com/h?article=5326…

#Breaking A flight from #Beirut to #Paris has declared an emergency near Munich. Air France flight #AF565, from Beirut to Paris, squawked 7700 and diverted to Munich following reports of “toxic fumes.” Air France flight AF565, an Airbus A330-200, was en route from Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) when the crew initiated emergency protocols. The aircraft, registered as F-GZCM, departed Beirut at 17:29 EET, roughly 30 minutes behind its scheduled departure time. While cruising at an altitude of 40,000 feet over Southern Germany, the flight crew transmitted a Squawk 7700 code, the international signal for a general emergency.

Toxic Fumes in Aircraft Cabins Raise Concerns Over Pilot Health The illness of American Airlines pilot Ron Weiland, which resulted in a diagnosis of ALS, has brought renewed attention to toxic smoke incidents in aircraft cabins known as “fume events.” At 54 years old and previously healthy, Weiland began struggling with simple everyday movements in 2016. In October 2016, during a table tennis match, Weiland started missing routine shots he would normally execute with ease. Speech difficulties soon followed. After operating his final flight in May 2017, during which he struggled to make passenger announcements, he was diagnosed with ALS. Two months before his symptoms appeared, Weiland had canceled a flight while operating a Boeing 767 in Miami due to a strong engine oil smell and smoke filling the cabin. In such “fume events,” toxic gases produced by synthetic oils leaking into the engines can enter the cabin and cockpit. Doctors have emphasized that exposure to these fumes may be linked to serious health problems among pilots and cabin crew. Weiland’s wife, Martha Weiland, claimed that her husband’s exposure to toxic cabin air triggered his illness and filed a lawsuit against Boeing in 2020. Boeing denied the allegations, and the case was settled confidentially in 2022. The company maintained that aircraft air systems have long been approved by the FAA and that cabin air is safe. Meanwhile, reports of fume events have increased significantly in recent years. Analyses based on FAA data indicate that such incidents at major US airlines have risen nearly tenfold over the past decade. Many doctors and researchers note that while a direct causal link has not yet been definitively proven, there is growing evidence of a relationship between chemicals in cabin air and serious conditions such as ALS, dementia, and brain damage.

Opnieuw een vreemde geur in cockpit of cabine….en onderaan het artikel nog 3 gevallen van ongewone/ vreemde geuren. 🤦‍♀️Na decennialang geuren (fume events dus) wordt het tijd het om sensoren en filters in te bouwen. Gezondheidsschade is onbetaalbaar! lnkd.in/dE956ea8
