WHY AIRLINE CEO’S ARE OBSESSING ABOUT AIRCRAFT PURE AIR
Article by Bearnairdine Beaumont.
‘Summary
The recirculated air on-board aircraft accounts for approximately 50% of the air supply and can contain high concentrations of bacteria, dust, viruses and other microorganisms. The remaining 50% of the cabin air is provided by the engine “bleed air”. This air can contain fumes that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can create by chemical reaction an unpleasant smell, referred to by the airline industry as “odour”. This “odour” however, can signal the presence of highly toxic substances, including carbon monoxide fumes.
Despite all the promises given in marketing videos launched by many airlines in the past weeks telling the public that the air is as clean as in an OR or hospital: it is not! Any number of viral load can be brought on board by any (asymptomatic) person, who will not be detected by any fever measuring or other health check, and there is no guarantee that there would be no health hazardous fume emissions entering the cabin breathing air at any given time.’

This is one such video from Airbus assuring the public that the air onboard their aircraft is safe.

... and after cleaning with "special" cleaning agents one can rest assured that there are no viruses for 5 days on the surfaces... great: MORE toxins.
Airlines and Aircraft Manufacturers have much more work to do before the air onboard aircraft is ‘safe’.
This includes the complete elimination of contaminants from the 50% of cabin air which is drawn through the aircraft engines (bleed-air) on all aircraft except the Boeing 787, which are known to cause injury to health - such as aircraft oil, hydraulic fluid and exhaust from other aircraft and ground vehicles - which Airbus touched on in 2016:

As for viruses -
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control:
‘At the beginning of the influenza A(H1N1) pandemic in 2009, air travel was the cause of the introduction of this new virus into countries not primarily affected, and aeroplanes are likely to be a major vector when the next pandemic occurs.’

Despite previous warnings, here we are in 2020 with Covid-19 which was spread all over the world by Air Travel - as predicted.
This news article from the Los Angeles Times (14 June 2020) confirms that despite aircraft having HEPA filters and airlines using ‘special cleaning agents’, if someone has a virus and travels by plane, there is a very high possibility of others contracting and spreading it throughout their communities:

The bottom line is, many aircraft continued flying during this Covid-19 pandemic. The result has been a significantly high death rate and economic turmoil.
HEPA filters and cleaning agents do not stop a virus from spreading - despite the assurances of airlines and aircraft manufacturers - and there is nothing to stop contaminated air from the aircraft engines causing injury as shown in the article above by Bearnairdine Beaumont.
We place too much trust in those people in positions of authority to protect us.
