MCS-Aware has an online survey for those sensitized to chemicals - this would include most if not all "aerotoxicity" sufferers. It will support the results of a new and international study in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Klaschka
Thanks for taking a few minutes to answer it (anonymously) and of course forward it to people you know and share in social media groups.

“An important new international study looking at the effects of #fragrance #sensitivity is being carried out in Germany, in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Klaschka. This is an anonymous online survey.
More information and links to the questionnaires (in 5 languages) can be found in this short YouTube video and in the video's additional description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyRDfOjDX34

A 2023 review -
Multiple chemical sensitivity: It's time to catch up to the science
By John Molot, Margaret Sears and Hymie Anisman (2023)

Earlier this year, Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini published a notable paper in the journal ‘Toxics’.
Many of the insights revealed in this paper must be extended to the toxicological and regulatory assessment of formulations (chemical mixtures) used in the operation of aircraft such as engine oils and hydraulic fluids.
Seralini and collaborators have long exposed serious gaps in toxicity studies and evaluations and have also exposed serious forms of scientific and regulatory misconduct and fraud. A hero for his successful court cases against Monsanto and others, he has been standing up for truth for many years but has been vehemently attacked and defamed:

Pesticides in Formulations: New Revolutionary Findings
by Gilles-Eric Seralini - Professor of Molecular Biology, University of Caen. (2024)
‘The aim of this Special Issue is thus to explain new discoveries, particularly regarding the long-term toxicities of pesticides in whole ecosystems, and, importantly, how these are taken into consideration by health and regulatory agencies. The scope is also to understand new developments in the knowledge of the toxicity of full formulations, especially compared to the known effects of the declared active ingredients purified alone, which thus cannot serve be used in a basic approach.
Finally, this Special Issue demonstrates that the full formulations of pesticides must be experimentally tested at a toxicological level, especially for long-term or chronic effects. This has never been requested by authorities, even for models of commercial formulations. However, the formulations and their components enter food, feed, and the ecosystem, where they are not assessed. The major pesticides in the world, i.e., glyphosate-based herbicides, which are being debated on all continents, represent one of the first problems but not the only problem. Neonicotinoids and others can be evoked.
This knowledge is crucial for shedding light on the real toxicity of pesticides. Be- cause of major toxicological differences between declared ingredients and commercialized formulated pesticides, which are largely underestimated today, and because long-term toxicity is never really studied, tested experimentally in vivo, or requested by regulatory authorities, even once for model formulations, there is a crucial scientific gap at this level. Also, because the toxicity of a pesticide cannot be anticipated or deduced from the known toxicity of the sole declared ingredient (e.g., the ADI), plus additional theoretical calculations or the toxicity thresholds of unknown or undeclared adjuvants, these factors are currently ignored by scientists; thus, this Special Issue will shed new light on the necessary revolution in toxicology. Thresholds of toxicity should be decreased by several hundreds or thousands of times below ADI values, again, due to undeclared, untested existing mixtures in pesticide formulations.’
Documents were produced by the EU in 2023 on Endocrine Disruption along with lists of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC’s).
As a result, some European countries have independently produced lists with maximum exposure limits in order to protect workers.
As an example, Belgium has ruled in law that exposure to Tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (TOCP- one of the isomers of Tricresyl phosphate) must not exceed 0.02mg/m3 (in vapour or aerosol), measured or calculated based on a reference period corresponding to an 8-hour time-weighted average.
TOCP was measured onboard an aircraft during the U.K. Government funded Cranfield Study (2011) at 0.02mg/m3.

A critique of recent air sampling data collected on aircraft: How much exposure to neurotoxic fumes is acceptable?
January 2011 - Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry 11(4):147

FlightGlobal report on the questionable U.K. Cranfield Study (May 2011):

The recent statement from the U.K. Committee on Toxicity regarding Aircraft Cabin Air which is the U.K. Government’s official position is shown below.
The conclusion is shown on page 14.
‘The COT concluded that the reported levels of the chemical contaminants reviewed (OP’s VOC’s including as mixtures, CO and CO2) in aircraft cabin air are unlikely to cause adverse health effects in aircrew following acute or long-term exposures.’
The Committee on Toxicity U.K. does not have a list of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and apparently U.K. regulators do not have any lists either, as was revealed in April this year:
