In progress

An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a study examining the potential impacts of fume or smoke events on air quality in passenger aircraft cabins. The committee will examine information about the air contaminants present in passenger aircraft cabins during smoke and fume events, and the health impacts and risks to flight crews and passengers. They will also consider data on the incidence, frequency, duration, and likely causes of smoke and fume events.
