We're a not for profit organisation campaigning on behalf of all people who want to travel safely by air.

Aerotoxic Association is constantly on the look-out for ways to help people who fear they may have been exposed to toxic chemicals while flying.

If you have symptoms that you feel may be linked to toxic chemical exposure and you plan to visit your doctor you may have only a very limited time in consultation.

A written aide memoire can also be useful when you're suffering from symptoms that are making you feel ill and find it harder to concentrate.

Now we have documents for you to download from this site that could help make it easier for you and for your doctor to understand the syndrome and choose the appropriate treatment.

A Letter to your doctor

It may help your doctor to have some idea of the condition you're seeking help with.  This letter is designed for you to take with you to your appointment to put your doctor in the picture

Her briefing sheet contains information on symptoms, effects, tests and treatments for OP poisoning.

A family holiday ruined

"When we boarded the aircraft we were all in excellent health. During the flight, my husband and I started feeling very light headed. We had head pain and felt very fatigued.
 
I could not control my bowels and was continuously in the lavatory...
 
About 48 hours after we arrived, we all developed severe flu like symptoms.
It got so bad that we had to seek medical attention and went to the emergency room at a Florida hospital ....
 
This has proven to be a great battle of red tape and ignorance. It has been an extreme mission and has demanded so much of me at a time when I am at my weakest.
 
 
To any passengers out there who have suffered ill health like this during and after flying, report it to the airline, the public health organizations, and anybody who will listen"

The Travel journalist..
 
I stumbled onto your site while attempting to find information on what has happed to me.  I inhaled fumes in the cabin while awaiting a gate for a prolonged period .. I was very sick upon leaving the plane and it escalated until I was hospitalized two weeks ago.  Now ..  I have a serious lung problem and fatigue that makes even doing the dishes difficult. ....  

The 'irony' in this is I write a travel column and this is not what my readers want to hear!"
