Flying and organo-phosphate compounds

I rarely fly b/c I dislike it so but I thought I would post this for you frequent flyers.

Ever had a problem on a flight?

I think the MMM group is more health conscious compared to the average person...

Have you ever experienced anything like this? I haven’t. That isn’t to say that it doesn’t happen, I’m just curious about what others have to share. I do notice when we are sitting on the tarmac without moving that the air pumped in is full of aircraft exhaust fumes, which I abhor as they are so close to diesel fumes. Otherwise, I personally have never noticed anything except dry air.

I fly a lot (around 280k miles last year) and have never experienced this in-flight.  The most dangerous fumes I usually encounter are nearby passengers letting out SBD farts.  Those can be killer!

The fumes while on the ground suck.  I do wish the air frame manufacturers would figure out how to keep those fumes out of the cabin.

Yeah, exhaust fumes on the tarmac are all I have ever experienced.
