Ozone and passengers in aircraft cabin air
In a reconstructed aircraft cabin section occupied by people during simulated four-hour flights, adding ozone increased by-products such as acetone, nonanal, decanal, 4-oxopentanal and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one; several of the by-products, which also included formic and acetic acid, reached levels above their reported odour thresholds, and most formed on the occupants and their clothing.
Simulated flights in a test facility with ozone added deliberately; real cabins vary with ozone level and ventilation.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
