((Hill– The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received thousands of reports since 2010 about toxic fumes of accelerated jet engines in the cockpit and the aircraft cabin, according to the investigation conducted by its conducted Wall Street Magazine.
The leaks are due to the design of a commonly used plane known as “bleeding air” that pulls the air from the engine to aircraft so that those on board can.
The increase in reports is largely driven by Airbus A320S, which is used by the three largest American airlines. The plane informed seven times the rate of smoke as Boeing 737, which does not use “air bleeding” design.
For Jetblue and Spirit, both of which are used primarily an Airbus, the number of genocide has seen an increase of 660 percent between 2016 and 2024.
The fumes, which are often described as the smell of the “wet dog” and “nail polish”, have led to a decline in emergency, passengers and sick crew members, according to reports obtained by the magazine.
Most of the emitted fumes, which consist of carbon monoxide and unlimited quantities of nerve toxins, are not toxic and have mild symptoms to any symptoms, but long exposure can lead to more severe side effects. For years, manufacturers of aircraft and pressure groups on airlines reduced the risk of inhaling these toxic fumes, according to the magazine.
FAA is on its website on the 2015 review that has found extermination incidents reported on the main American airlines at a rate of “less than 33 event per million aircraft, or about 330 events per year.
The numbers can be higher, as crew members are not required to report each FUE event.
The aviation industry has funded studies to refute allegations that smoke leakage in aircraft causes great harm, while opposition legislation calls for increasing safety measures to avoid genocide, according to the magazine.
Congress tried to enter the legislation at least 19 times about the pollution of genocide for more than two decades, according to the ASS version obtained by 737 magazine, 737 products engineer, Julie Brieituel.
In 2024, Representative John Garjamdei (D-Calif) and Senator Richard Blumerment (D-Connn) presented a bill that provides more comprehensive aircraft sensors and investigations. After the industrial reaction, the draft law, which was signed in the law last year, requires a research on the leakage of the daughter and better reports on accidents.
In August, new legislation was presented by Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FLA) to claim filters on passenger planes that would completely eliminate the leakage of the planes within seven years.
The hill arrived at the Frost office to comment on the bill.
