ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the air quality inside commercial aircraft cabins, specifically looking at what happens during "fume events," which occur when engine oils leak into the cabin air. The study aims to understand how these events affect the health of flight crew members, particularly any neurological symptoms or disorders they might experience. Researchers will check for harmful chemicals from the engine oils and study both the immediate and long-term health effects on those exposed.

To participate in the trial, individuals need to be at least 18 years old and must sign a consent form agreeing to take part. However, pregnant individuals and those over 67 years old are not eligible. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to important research that could improve air quality in aircraft and protect the health of aircrew. The trial is currently recruiting, and anyone who meets the criteria and is interested can learn more about joining.
