Although it has been known about for decades and scientists have warning us about it, toxins are still getting into the cabin air, which is not filtered. Since the air is drawn in through the engines, it can in certain cases be contaminated by heated engine oil. Among the many components of the turbine oil is a neurotoxin, tricresyl phosphate, TCP. In English with subtitles available in English and Spanish. First shown on German TV station ARD's 'plusminus'.

  • surely all it will take is a simple condenser, could even be piped in to the FOHE, condenses and stores the oil and any other vaporised contaminants in the bleed air.

    I think its ridiculous they get bleed air from the IP compressors as it is, at this day and age it should be an electric pump like the Trent 1000 does, or even ram air at cruise should deliver enough pressure recovery to pressurise the cabin

  • PS: Those people are gonna hate me ...

  • It is a problem that was known for decades, but recently I learned How is that not considered to solve this problem?

    It's a shame that people who are interested in making money out of this problem is a shame ... is ... (How to explain ...) sucks. Both think that the world is worse ...

    Do not understand why are people so stupid as them ... Both as to fall into temptation ...
