For many years I have been commenting abt the air we breathe on #aircraft and have been and continue to be politically active on this very important issue for #Passengers & #Aircrew.
This continuous thread will be added to as & when I discover new issues that #Consumers should be aware of. At this stage I will simply point you to my new book: Gaspers; a potential source of information! amazon.co.uk/Gaspers-passen…
To give you a flavour of the issues at stake, read this #BBC report of a diverted transatlantic flight and its affect on the occupants of the aircraft, their findings and the #airline's response
I've been away from this topic due to work on @AMagdaleneRose. However, I will be reviewing those 2scientific reports & will highlight key issues of content in the coming weeks
I've also been looking at the nature of #Aviation#Regulation and have been working on that aspect, slowly but surely, over the last few months, and will comment on that substantially in the latter part of 2021/early 2022!
"Our results suggest that exposure to engine oil and hydraulic fluid fumes can induce considerable lung toxicity, clearly reflecting the potential health risks of contaminated aircraft cabin air"
"The toxicological data derived from ALI exposures in our study thus clearly reflect the potential health risks associated with fume events in aircraft cabins, particularly for hydraulic fluid fumes".
Another example of a #fumeevent & its affect on flight operations; unanswered Q: was this 'burning' or heat or due to some other cause? A good example of potential 'other causes' for a fume event
Over the years I have tweeted about various aspects about how we travel and its affect on the #environment and the world around us. Through those years I've become more conscious of the travel decisions I make and it hasn't...
...always been easy. In my small way I'd travel for business by train rather than car, using rail to travel to #Brussels#Paris, offsetting my #CarbonFootprint when travelling by air. Now I'm looking to #EV, 2replace my car...
A couple of years ago whilst I was in #London, I decided to visit the #ExtinctionRebellion protest in #Whitehall where I managed to speak with one of its members, talking about the #Climate and Travel:
During this #COVID I am going to create a rolling thread about key issues and articles of interest, just so as you can see the evolution toward a return to normality in 2022, 2023, 2024 or 2025; according to predictions by #Aviation!
Interesting article about #staycations and their price!!
The attitude of some UK h/makers, is I'm afraid, a common feature found in holidays abroad. I've heard many a tale about the Master vs Serf behaviour of some Brits! independent.co.uk/voices/holiday…
