Toxic Air causes health problems?

Do you have any of the following conditions?

Case study 1 (age 36)
Illnesses: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, anaemia, pneumonia/bronchitis, asthma, infertility, chronic fatigue, insomnia, depression, multiple chemical disorder, eczema/psoriasis, IBS/Crohn's disease


"My health has become so bad over the last five years that I've only been able to work half the schedule that I used to. My doctor has attributed my illnesses to exposure to fumes and toxic chemicals on planes. I've been off work for eight months and my company has denied me compensation benefits. I'm about to lose my home."

Case study 2 (age 50)
Illnesses: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, anaemia, pneumonia/bronchitis, asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, thyroid disorder, multiple chemical disorder, breast cancer, osteoporosis, chronic sinusitis, tachycardia, peripheral nerve damage, obstructed lungs


"I had 12 years of ill health that was a mystery until I found out about contaminated air. My GP believes all my health problems have been caused by flying and has written 'Aerotoxic Syndrome' on my medical certificate. I have been on sick leave for over a year and my airline has threatened to terminate my contract on three occasions. "

Case study 3 (age 32)
Illnesses: Pneumonia/bronchitis, osteoarthritis


"I experience extreme fatigue after flying. I have ongoing sinus problems and an increase in cold and flu and I am convinced this is related to flying . I have noticed an impairment in simple mental processes such as memory, mental arithmetic and sometimes even finding the words to speak. Before I began flying I considered myself fairly intelligent and articulate."

Reports in the Telegraph this week highlight the problems with recirculating air into the cabin through the engines. The continues the concerns of the National Research Council in their book The Airliner Cabin Environment and the Health of Passengers and Crew which states that well maintained engines should not pose a problem. They go on to say that engines that are not well maintained are a different issue.

One of the main concerns is an organophosphate that is a neuro toxin. This basically screws with your brain and your nervous system. In someone who is in good health with no respiratory problems the body should be able to handle a small dose but anyone with a weakened immune system, weakened respiratory system or who is exposed on a regular basis will start to show health problems.

Even one dose may be enough for someone who's chemical make-up means that their body processes the organophosphate really ineffectively.

It is really difficult to protect against inhalents but one thing that will improve your risk is to ensure that your body is processing any organophosphate in the most effective way possible. This can be done with a Passport4Health treatment.
