To ask Her Majesty’s Government what scientific, technical and medical expertise the Civil Aviation Authority has to investigate fume events on board aircraft.[HL791]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what scientific, technical and medical expertise the Civil Aviation Authority has to investigate fume events on board aircraft.[HL791]
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) monitors the frequency and severity of such fume events through the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme (MORS) and through their general oversight of airline operations and employs experienced pilots and engineers who are able to assess the adequacy of air operators’ procedures for managing events of this nature. The CAA has been actively involved in research into the potential flight safety and health effects of fumes events for a number of years. The Head of the Aviation Health Unit has lead responsibility for the CAA’s ongoing participation in international activity seeking to resolve concerns about potential health effects.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what measures are taken by the Civil Aviation Authority to ensure that passengers on board aircraft are made aware of fume events when they occur; what advice they give to vulnerable passengers who might have been affected; whether they measure the level of public concern...

There is no national or international legislation requiring passengers to be informed of fume events. Fume events rarely cause symptoms requiring medical attention and airlines have procedures for assisting sick passengers or crew. If no symptoms are experienced, no action is required. A passenger who experiences symptoms that resolve during or immediately after the flight does not need to seek medical advice. If a passenger feels unwell following a fume event, and symptoms persist after the flight, medical advice should be sought.
There are no measures in place to establish the level of any public concern about fume events. However, members of the public with concerns should contact the Aviation Health Unit at the Civil Aviation Authority.

All four of the Department for Transport’s completed research studies into cabin air were formally submitted to the Committee on Toxicity (COT) in May 2012. The timing of the consideration of these reports is a matter solely for the COT.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will expedite the Committee on the Toxicity of Chemicals in Food and the Environment’s consideration of the subject of cabin air quality following the article published on the subject in Flight Global in the week commencing 22 April. [HL118]

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many reports of fatigue have been made through the Confidential Human Factors Incident Reporting Programme in the past five years.[HL6715]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many reports of fatigue have been made through the Confidential Human Factors Incident Reporting Programme in the past five years.[HL6715]
The Confidential Human Factors Incident Reporting Programme is run by the independent CHIRP Charitable Trust. The Government do not have direct access to the reports made to CHIRP, but CHIRP shares information relating to specific issues identified by confidential reports with the Civil Aviation Authority where appropriate. CHIRP also publishes information gained from reports, including on fatigue, in its “Feedback” publications which are available from its website: www.chirp.co.uk.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to updating air quality regulations in commercial passenger aircraft to make installation of carbon monoxide detectors mandatory. [HL5568]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to updating air quality regulations in commercial passenger aircraft to make installation of carbon monoxide detectors mandatory. [HL5568]
Responsibility for establishing requirements for aircraft equipment now rests with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). EASA currently has no plans to mandate the fitting of carbon monoxide detectors. Should evidence emerge that there is a need for such equipment EASA will propose an amendment to the relevant rules.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food and the Environment to report on the studies of cabin air quality conducted by Cranfield University and the Institute of Occupational Medicine on behalf of the Department for Transport.[HL3150]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food and the Environment to report on the studies of cabin air quality conducted by Cranfield University and the Institute of Occupational Medicine on behalf of the Department for Transport.[HL3150]
The research into cabin air quality undertaken on behalf of the Department for Transport has been completed and the studies have been referred to the Committee on Toxicity (the COT) for its consideration.
I understand from the Health Protection Agency that at present it is not possible to specify when a draft discussion paper will be completed by the COT on the reports conducted by Cranfield University and the Institute of Occupational Medicine. When ready, the draft discussion paper will be made publicly available on the COT website and placed on a COT agenda for discussion.
The COT is the Government's independent adviser on matters concerning toxicity and determines its own timetable for the consideration of matters referred
to it. A link to the COT website is given below where details of forthcoming COT meetings are given: http://cot.food.gov.uk/cotmtgs/.

They have also been referred formally to the Committee on Toxicity—the independent adviser to government on matters concerning the toxicity of chemicals—for its consideration.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Surface Residue Study undertaken for the Department for Transport by the Institute of Occupational Medicine, Edinburgh, which found concentrations of mono-orthocresylphosphate (MOCP) at around three times the level of tri-orthocresylphosphate (TOCP) in airborne measurements, accords with the statement from the manufacturers of the...
