P-CoC Patienteninitiative - contaminated cabin air e.V.

Erinnern Sie sich an unsere Sendung «Gift über den Wolken»?

Eine Betroffene hat sich bei uns gemeldet und hier ist ihr Bericht.

Flugzeuge werden zum Schutz vor eingeschleppten Insekten chemisch behandelt. Zugleich können bei sogenannten Fume Events Öl- oder Hydraulikdämpfe in Cockpit und Kabine gelangen. Eine ehemalige Lufthansa-Flugbegleiterin und Purserin berichtet, wie jahrelange Exposition ihre Gesundheit ruinierte und sie zur Frühpensionierung zwang – und warum sie die bisherigen Schutzmaßnahmen für unzureichend hält, besonders im Hinblick auf 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹, 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗿 und ebenso 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻.

Great news! 🙌 Delta Air Lines is taking action by replacing hundreds of engine units to tackle the growing problem of toxic fumes in aircraft cabins. This is an important step to protect crews and passengers – and a signal that change is possible.

At P-CoC e.V. we welcome this move and say: let’s keep going! ✈️💚
We want to see all airlines follow Delta’s example and commit to clean cabin air, transparent reporting, and real protection for everyone who flies.

🔍 Why is Delta’s step important – and yet not enough?

Replacing the APU can reduce the risk, but it does not eliminate all causes of oil fume contamination.

Such incidents occur more often than crews and the public is made aware of.

Binding international standards and transparency requirements for cabin air quality and fume event reporting are still missing.

✈️ What we demand – and how you can help

Legal regulations for cabin air protection standards on a European and international level

Mandatory reporting of fume events with independent documentation and public access to data

Research and transparency on possible long-term health effects of repeated exposure

Awareness for passengers and crew: knowing how to recognize symptoms and how to react

👉 How YOU can take action

Share this post to spread awareness

Write to your representatives and demand support for strong cabin air standards

If you have been affected or have personal experiences: connect with us – we want to give a voice to those impacted

This shows: progress is possible when the issue can no longer be ignored. Let’s make sure it doesn’t stop here!

Such incidents have led to brain injuries for crew and passengers, The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month.

„Doctors compare brain effects to concussions in NFL players. A Wall Street Journal investigation shows the problem is getting worse and not much is being done about it.“

„The rate of incidents is accelerating in recent years, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found, driven in large part by leaks on Airbus’s bestselling A320 family of jets“

„In a 2017 internal email, excerpts of which were produced in a lawsuit, Boeing quality inspector Steven Reiman wrote:

Just think what would happen if people realized they are being poisoned by coming to work on our airplanes or as passengers.
He raised concerns that the public might discover that oil leaks could make “aircrew sick to the point of death.”

Doctors compare brain effects to concussions in NFL players. A Wall Street Journal investigation shows such incidents are increasingly common.

It is with deep sadness and profound respect that we mourn the passing of Dr. Susan Michaelis.

As Chair of P-COC e.V. and on behalf of injured cabin crew in Germany, I honour Susan not only as a fearless pioneer in aviation health and safety but also as a tireless advocate for those suffering from lobular breast cancer. Her unwavering courage, scientific brilliance, and boundless empathy shaped policy, raised awareness, and changed lives.

Susan’s legacy – from her groundbreaking research into contaminated cabin air to her passionate leadership of the Lobular Moon Shot Project – will continue to inspire us all. Her voice may be silent now, but her impact will echo for generations.

Our thoughts are with her husband Tristan Loraine, her loved ones, and all who continue the work she so bravely began.

Rest in power, Susan.
💜✈️🌹

We have questions…!

After returning from the bathroom, the Lufthansa flight's captain found he was initially unable to get back into the cockpit.

P-CoC e.V. as German representative of Fume Event affected Crew and Passengers, supports the TWUs approach on the Safe Air on Airplanes Act. We are more than happy to see this development that is in favor off all people traveling on airplanes.

„The Transport Workers Union is backing a bill from Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) that would require new aircraft to be built with electrical systems that provide clean, unpolluted air inside cabins – phasing out current bleed air systems that funnel pressurized air from aircraft engine compressors. Engine-compressed air can become toxic when oil or hydraulic fluid leaks occur.

The new bill, the Safe Air on Airplanes Act, will be introduced on Thursday, May 23rd and unveiled at a press conference at the House Triangle on Capitol Hill.“

Reps. Frost (D-FL), Lawler (R-NY), and Garamendi (D-CA) speak with reporters about new airplane safety legislation to protect cabin crew and passengers

Krebserkrankung von Flugbegleitern in direktem Zusammenhang mit Höhenstrahlung- Gerichtsurteil aus Südkorea

Die Airline zeigt ihr bekanntes Muster und widersetzt sich den Erkenntnissen aus der Wissenschaft:

„The airline disagreed with this diagnosis. In its opinion, this cancer cannot be linked to the professional activity of its employees. It has assured us that it never exposes its flight crews to doses of radioactivity that are beyond the legal thresholds. It therefore believes that the cancer is linked to other factors unrelated to her work.“
