Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Trumpington (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) on Monday, 14 July 2008.
Aviation: Air Quality
- Question
- Whether they will require all the air entering passenger aircraft to be filtered.
- Answer
-
My Lords, most modern commercial aircraft are fitted with high-efficiency particulate air filters, which are very efficient in removing airborne contaminants such as droplets, bacteria and large viral particles. Compulsory fitting of filters for volatile organic compounds would have to be required by the regulator, the European Aviation Safety Agency, on the basis of evidence that there was a harmful substance in cabin air and that a particular specification of filter would remove it.
