To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, Robert Goodwill, on 4 March (HC225506), how many fume events occurred in flights observed by researchers conducting the Cranfield University study; whether the available health and safety standards and guidelines include the...

A total of 38 flights had fumes or smells reported by at least one crew member or researcher during the Cranfield study. The Health and Safety Executive are responsible for introducing guidelines on health and safety at work legislation. However, the Cranfield study found that with respect to the conditions of flight that were experienced during the cabin air sampling, there was no evidence for pollutants occurring in cabin air at levels exceeding available health and safety standards and guidelines. The Committee on Toxicity (the COT) made a number of conclusions in their assessment. The Department welcomed these and forwarded the COT report to the European Aviation Safety Agency for their information.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, Robert Goodwill, on 5 March (HC225928), what evidence is currently being reviewed by the Civil Aviation Authority in respect of the possibility of genetic factors which might influence individual susceptibility to...

The Civil Aviation Authority are reviewing the issue of genetic susceptibility to toxins in the context of documents provided by Dorset Coroner’s office.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how air crew and passengers in commercial airlines without filtration or detection systems are warned, protected and informed in the event of a fume incident from contaminated bleed air.

My Lords, operators are required to include detailed instructions to crew on procedures to be followed when contamination of cabin air is present or suspected. Any passenger who became unwell would be given first aid by the crew and, if necessary, referred for further medical assessment and care after landing. There is no national or international legislation requiring air crew or passengers to be informed of fume events.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, following the finding by the Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research published on 13 December 2013, reporting that tricresyl phosphate was found in KLM’s entire fleet of Boeing 737s, and in the light of peer-review criticism of the Cranfield study, whether they have any...

We have recently received the final report on cabin air from the Committee on Toxicity (CoT) and agree with its findings that levels of exposure to chemicals in contaminated bleed air would need to occur in far higher concentrations to have toxic effects, and that a causal link to the range of illnesses reported in relation to fume incidents is unlikely.
As stated in the CoT’s paper, any decision to undertake further research would need to balance the likelihood that it will usefully inform further management of the problem against the costs of undertaking the work. Since 2008, successive Governments have devoted considerable resources to the study of cabin air. An international approach to future investigations now seems justified and, with this in mind, the Department for Transport does not plan to undertake any additional research. However, officials will forward the CoT’s paper to the European Aviation Safety Agency in order to highlight the CoT’s suggestions for further research.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will take up the recommendation of the Science and Technology Committee in its report Air Travel and Health (HL Paper 121, Session 1999–2000) that a full-scale epidemiological study be conducted on air crew; and, if so, when.[HL3703]

The Government has no plans to require UK based airlines to monitor air quality in aircraft cabins. The European Aviation Safety Agency would be responsible for introducing proposals for the compulsory monitoring of air quality in all aircraft cabins. There has been no indication that the Agency intends to introduce such proposals.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the Felderhof-KLM ruling in the Netherlands on 18 September, whether they have plans to insist that United Kingdom-based airlines monitor air quality in aircraft cabins; and what contingency plans they have should a European ruling require compulsory monitoring of air quality...

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to provide funding to Cranfield University to complete its Aircraft Cabin Air Sampling Study, published in 2011, and to investigate the chemical profile and dosage of a typical fume event on board an aircraft.[HL3704]

The Department for Transport has completed four research studies into cabin air. These were formally submitted for review to the Committee on Toxicity (COT) in May 2012. The COT reviewed the Department’s studies at COT meetings on September 17 and 29 October. The Department will consider the Committee’s findings and recommendations once it has received their report.
