"Air in airplanes unhealthy?"
Do you ever suffer from headaches or other physical complaints during a long flight to or from Bangkok? This may have something to do with the sickening air in airplane cabins.
For years, experts have been warning that cabin crew and frequent travelers could suffer brain damage from the toxins in the air in an airplane.
State Secretary Wilma Mansveld of Infrastructure and the Environment has set up an advisory group to investigate this. The advisory group includes representatives from airlines, flight personnel and research institutes such as TNO and RIVM. That group advises Mansveld on what position to take on this in Europe. The group also assesses whether additional international research is necessary.
The European Aviation Safety Agency, EASA, has also launched a major investigation into air quality on commercial flights. It must be made clear which chemical components pollute the air and in what concentrations they occur.
For some reason I have the impression that the cycling route to Thailand is healthier, but still more dangerous.
is becoming a bit of an old story, it is being tackled in the newest aircraft (you learn something from captains as acquaintances).
The problem is in the old boxes, you can retrofit them with a better air purifier and well, we are still busy, but a GPS with a satellite uplink that indicates every minute where that box is and what it is doing.
But this is difficult due to regulations. If something was not originally in an aircraft, it must be approved by the fda per aircraft (not the model) ... And that quickly costs a ton or more.
And the airlines are not doing well in terms of profit, so they will think, boffff will be on the next plane.
I'm already waiting for a legal disclaimer (if there isn't one already) that you can no longer sue them about this by buying a ticket.
But hey, walking in Bangkok for a day and hanging behind tuk-tuks will probably cause you just as much damage. In that respect, the Chinese are doing well, never seen so many converted electric scooters as there.
Could also be caused by the intake of kerosene from the engines. The long-term radiation in the “tube” can also cause problems for the body.
Zembla paid attention to this in 2010 and 2013.

How healthy is unhealthy and how bad is it? No idea. Why does the hospital always smell so strange?
I always arrive at the destination with a headache, but that is not necessarily due to the air quality in the plane. It can also be tension.
But I did read recently that every modern aircraft is actually blowing less healthy air into the cabin.
This does not only concern older aircraft.
That's why I sometimes write nonsense on this blog. Thirty years as a flight attendant must have been devastating to my brain. My IQ of 190 is now only 120…..and so I can live comfortably and happily in Thailand.
In Thailand you can also go well with less. Recently in Bangkokpost: “The average IQ of Prathom 1 students fell from 2011 to 2014 between 94 and 93,1, so below the average of 100. Children in urban schools score 100,72 and children in rural schools 89,18. The newspaper headlines that the scores have fallen 'again', but figures before 2011 are not mentioned.” (end of quote) So you see, the near and far future does not foresee any changes either.
