The air on board airliners is not nearly as clean as was previously assumed. In collaboration with Kassenstutz, a programme from Swiss TV broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen, over 30 swab samples were taken from aircraft of well-known airliners. 28 samples showed very high concentrations of tricresyl phosphate. This chemical is used exclusively as a jet engine oil additive, and is from a group of organophosphates which is a known nerve poison. In English with subtitles available in English and Spanish. First shown on German TV station ARD's 'plusminus'.
