What You Need to Know about Air Quality in Airplanes

“Sick Building Syndrome” is causing large numbers of people to suffer from respiratory problems, and few know that where they work could turn their lives into disasters.
The problem with air quality on airplanes is the pollution that is produced in the cabin. So, without an air filtration system, passengers may inhale or swallow these pollutants, which can worsen respiratory problems like asthma.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), potential hazards in-cabin air include:
1.Carbon monoxide
2.ozone
3.Carbon dioxide
4.pesticide
5.Passengers with infectious diseases
6.Pressurization changes affecting cabin air circulation
Airplane pollution also includes biological emissions, such as your exhale enter the air. In addition, your breath contains a variety of gases and vapors, like carbon dioxide, ethanol, and aldehydes. So water droplets produced when you breathe or sneeze or cough can carry bacteria or viruses into the air. What’s more, there are particles on the shedding skin that transport bacteria and viruses, and at the same time your digestive system produces gas. The above information is proved by the website of the Association of Flight Attendants. In addition, because there are no government requirements, the air in many cabins may not have been filtered or cleaned in any way, exposing you to harmful particles. In addition, poor air quality on planes can produce symptoms such as eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, general feeling of unwellness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.
We recommend the use of high-efficiency air filters or air purifiers to help eliminate a large number of pollutants in aircraft cabins to protect the health of customers and flight attendants.
