Aviation: Air Quality
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the legal limit of exposure to mixtures of chemicals that occur when synthetic jet engine oil is heated; and whether workplace limits for exposure to those chemicals apply to the cabin and flight deck of an aircraft at altitude.
- Answer
-
In the UK, EH40/2005 ““Workplace Exposure Limits”” (consolidated with amendments 2007), which is a Health and Safety Executive publication, lists workplace chemical exposure limits. Some, but not all, of these chemicals are likely to be found in synthetic jet engine oils and will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. These exposure limits would be applicable to cabin and flight crew of aircraft operated by UK airlines.
