of commercial airlines.  We are devoted to providing you

Please go to our information page to read more on bleed air, the
dangers and possibilities of exposure to TCP and toxic fumes on
airlines.  Another term for this is aerotoxic exposure from inhaling
burnt hydraulic oil/fliid from the auxiliary power unit (APU) or the
engine. Permanent damage can result to the nervous system and
mental functioning.  The web sites on this page are well worth
reading if you are concerned about yours or a loved one's health
and consistent flying or even a one time incident.  People in general
and especially flight crew are not given the information  they need to
assess the situation and risks.

                  IMPORTANT NOTICE TO DOCTORS
If you are a DOCTOR or HEALTHCARE PROVIDER it is
important that you familiarize yourself with the causes and effects
of exposure to TOCP and burnt oil.  It is often overlooked and
misdiagonosed.   In addition to the important links below see the

Research Consortium in Aviation at www.ohrca.com
