Aviation Health: Contaminated Air
- Question
- Whether they have carried out toxicological testing of pyrolised synthetic jet engine oil lubricants, with particular reference to organophosphate-induced chronic neurotoxic effects; and, if so, what were the results.
- Answer
-
The Civil Aviation Authority commissioned the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) to investigate whether fumes connected with aircraft engine oil were linked to transient symptoms experienced by pilots during flight. Certain irritants were found but DSTL advised that the reported symptoms were not consistent with organophosphate induced neurotoxic effects.
