Call for public inquiry into “fume events” on airliners

Unite has called for a public inquiry into the health effects of “fume events” on airliners amid warnings that there is insufficient monitoring and research into aerotoxic syndrome. Speaking to ITV News, Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said that more needed to be done to understand illnesses caused by exposure to contaminated cabin air on jet aircraft and that airlines should be required to monitor air quality during all flights.
