This documentary shows that for nearly fifty years[specify], airline passengers and crews have been supplied with unfiltered air, called bleed air, taken directly from the engines. It shows how pressure groups have stated that this air supply sometimes becomes contaminated with neurotoxins, carcinogens, and other hazardous chemicals.[1] When this contamination occurs on an aeroplane, it is called a "fume event".[2] Many fume events have been reported, some in which the passenger cabin was filled with smoke and fumes.[3]
Global Cabin Air Quality Executiveedit
Former British Airways Captain Tristan Loraine, who produced the film, is co-chair of Global Cabin Air Quality Executive (GCAQE).[4][5]

Research by the UK government did not find a link to long-term health problems. The UK Parliament Select Committee on Science and Technology concluded in 2000 that the concerns about significant health risks were not substantiated.[6]
In 2008 Michael Bagshaw, the former Head Doctor at British Airways, and later an advisor to Airbus, claimed that no peer-reviewed, recorded cases of neurological harm in humans followed low-level exposure to the organophosphatetricresyl phosphate (TCP), which is used as a lubricant in jet engines.[7]
