Unusually high or low air temperatures in commercial aircraft cabins, occurring before, during, and after boarding, may affect the health and safety of passengers and crew. An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a study to assess the health and safety impacts of temperatures in aircraft cabins. The committee will examine data on cabin temperatures and evidence on health and safety impacts. It will also assess the applicability and feasibility of applying existing standards on air temperatures and humidity levels in enclosed settings to ensure the health and safety of cabin occupants.
