Info the Airline industry doesn’t want you to see…

By: James Burge

The following videos outline the failure of the Airline industry to act on evidence, including anecdotes from various flight crews, that the air we breathe during flight may be contaminated with Tricresyl Phosphate or TCP, an organophosphate found at a concentration of about 5% in engine oil used in the Airplane’s engines. TCP is also a Neurotoxin. The oil leaks on to hot, running engines during flight and is vaporized. It then enters the cabin through bleed air. Bleed air is unfiltered air that is compressed by turbine engines and is used to supply air to various parts of the Airplane.  Inhalation of TCP leads to an inability to properly conduct electrical signals in the nervous system that causes Parkinson’s like symptoms as well as (usually) temporary paralysis. These effects are commonly referred to as Aerotoxic Syndrome, which is not an officially recognized syndrome.

There are many issues raised by this, not least of which being that people are suffering brain damage from unknowingly inhaling TCP during flights.  And, surprise surprise, the Airline industry doesn’t want you to know about it.  Although various airlines have apparently issued statements to their employees stating that they are investigating these and other claims made regarding bleed air, none will speak publically on the issue claiming proper study of TCP concentrations in cabin air have not been completed, which is true. However, as you see in the video, TCP residue has been found in alarmingly high concentrations in various planes that the reporter tested. Considering it is not supposed to be in the cabin at all, any traces of TCP are an issue.

The second major issue raised here is that 100% of cockpit air is supplied by bleed air (only 40% of cabin air), so the flight crew is usually the first to be effected by these issues. When you hear of pilots and co-pilots saying that they only just managed to get their O2 supply on before experiencing 5-10 minutes of near total paralysis, you can’t help but be fearful that these near misses will result in a catastrophe sooner or later. I’m not sure how long an Airplane can stay in the air without a functioning flight crew, or if the paralysis of a fight crew caused by TCP could ever be proven after a crash, but if this deceit continues, we may just find out.
