So if you smell wet socks while riding in back of Sparky, put your shoes back on.

It is great to see NK change cabin filters and engine oil to remove the neurotoxin chemicals. At least they are doing something rather than ignoring it. Captain T on the NK environmental committee has (thankfully) stepped up to make some real change.
We should probably carry this over to the Part IV forum, there are still redirects here.

Lots and lots of good info here, a Must Read, IMO:
What is Aerotoxic Syndrome? - Aerotoxic Association
No mention of this website in the Mustache Monthly, just a link to a pamphlet from ICAAO that is (did I read this right?) "available for purchase."
