According to TWU- Airline bosses want you to believe that toxic fume events, like the one Kate survived, are rare. In reality, toxic gasses have been poisoning flight crews & passengers for decades. The TWU is leading the fight to stop this & make flying safer for everyone. You can view Kate's Tik Tok video below by clicking on the link.

This is from the Transport Workers Union USA in November 2019 on the subject:
‘What Are Toxic Fumes?
Cabin crew and airline passengers are being exposed to toxic fumes which can cause severe health effects, including brain damage, cancer, and loss of motor function. Passengers are often unaware that the air they breathe on board is circulated through a series of mechanical processes to “bleed” air from around the engines. When these processes malfunction, toxic fumes can seep into the cabin air, releasing gasified engine oil, hydraulic fuel, and other aircraft fluids which can become potent nerve agents.
These nerve agents can be absorbed through inhalation and through the skin. Repeated or prolonged exposure to these – such as the daily exposure flight attendants and pilots endure – may result in the same effects as acute exposure. Some TWU members have become completely disabled from exposure to these chemicals.’

Things are moving forward on this issue in the USA.

• ‘Toxic fumes on board airplanes? Airlines may finally have to do something about it’
LA Times Article- Heads up Boeing
Unfortunately the U.K. Government and its regulator (CAA) continue with their denials of injury with the use of their deliberately manufactured pseudoscience and are are managing (for the time being), to keep this scandal under wraps.
The airlines pretend that they do not know there is a problem with the air inside their aircraft. They also pretend not to know that many of their employees have become ill or died as a result.
They continue to stand by the pseudoscience on health effects given to them by the CAA and Government rather than act in a responsible and proactive manner by investigating and researching for themselves.
What will it take for them to start working with the aircraft manufacturers to find a solution?
They believe their lack of action, ignorance and simply burying their heads in the sand is somehow acceptable.
Those of us injured in the UK are being supported by our workers union - Unite, who are funding the legal action against the U.K. based airlines. Unite are also supporting bereaved families of deceased pilots and cabin crew in this action.
The lead cases are expected to begin in court in 2024.

Please sign and share this petition. It is very important that more airline pilots, crew and passengers are made aware of the possible risks to both safety and their health.
Thank you.
