Is contaminated air in planes making us sick? - Daily Mail 29th May 2008

Official figures suggest that the air in one in 2,000 flights is polluted with engine oil. But unions claim so-called 'dirty air' occurs much more frequently, causing both pilots and passengers to suffer nausea, headaches, dizziness and lethargy. Last year, there were 116 contaminated air events reported to the Civil Aviation Authority, out of 1.3million passenger and cargo flights.
