Abstract
When a fume event occurs, cabin air contamination can cause short-term physical effects which may compromise flight safety. Evidence suggests a link between aircraft cabin air contamination and health effects in some crew. Therefore, mitigating actions should be taken to prevent exposure to contaminated air supply sourced fumes.
This briefing leaflet focuses on the safety case which results from a fume event; how to train for, mitigate against, and report fume events.
