One Night Over Sweden
The GCAQE is calling on regulators and Governments globally to mandate the introduction of effective 'bleed air' filters and contaminated air warning sensors on passenger aircraft. Exposure to contaminated air can cause a risk to flight safety and to crew and public health.
The aviation industry has known for decades that contaminated air can and has impaired and incapacitated flight and cabin crew. They have also had a good understanding of what chemicals are present during these events for over 20 years.
Please watch our 'Call for the mandatory installation of effective contaminated air detection and 'bleed air' filtration systems on passenger aircraft' short film and our animated 'Understanding filtration and 'bleed air' systems on commercial jet aircraft' films below to learn more about these issues, demand change and 'Fly informed.'
The GCAQE campaign is supported by representatives of over 1 million aviation workers, the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), the European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF), the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and the European Cabin Crew Association (EurECCA). The Press Release can be read here.

Professor Furlong and his team at the University of Washington in Seattle have been working hard on developing a blood test to determine human exposure to tricresyl phosphate (TCP), the organophosphate additive in most aviation engine oils. Please consider making a small or suitable donation to help get this work finished. Payments can be made via the Global Cabin Air Quality Executive (GCAQE) paypal account. The GCAQE members arranged the commencement of this work in 2004 and truly believe this blood test is the way to positively prove exposure to oil fumes in aircraft for both passengers and crew. Please help and spread the word. By having this test available, the aviation industry will surely move a step closer to resolving this long-standing problem relevant to all those travelling in aircraft whether for work or leisure.

As the holiday travel season approaches, there is a danger airline passengers should be aware of: cabin air can get contaminated and make you sick. Susie Steimle reports. (11-15-18)

The association is run by a group of aircrew whose careers have ended prematurely due to Aerotoxic Syndrome,
and we now want to help similarly affected aircrew and passengers.
