Verkar som att man förlitar sig på aircrews luktsinne för att upptäcka läckor?
Tänker att det måste finns ännu fler fall i delar av världen där underhållet inte är lika top notch.
Varför finns det en sån motvilja att erkänna risken och olyckorna?
Är det så svårt att förbättra ventilationen och upptäcka läckor?
En kommentar skrev att det beror på läckande oljepackningar
"A Wall Street Journal investigation found that hundreds of pilots and flight attendants worldwide have reported serious illnesses linked to toxic “fume events”
“In another severe incident cited by the Journal, seven US Airways crew members were exposed to toxic fumes aboard a Boeing 767 in January 2010.
Within 18 months, six were diagnosed by separate doctors with chemically induced brain injuries. Two later died of cancer and the captain ultimately took his own life, according to the Journal.”

A Wall Street Journal investigation found that the Airbus A320 has been the aircraft most affected by fume events.[6][7]
Ett annat känt fall är där den argentinska fotbollspelaren Sala dog.

Citat:
One of the most striking cases involved Ron Weiland, a 54-year-old American Airlines pilot who was in good physical shape when he abruptly lost coordination in late 2016 — just months after reporting an intense smell of engine oil and thick fog inside his Boeing 767 while taxiing at Miami International Airport.
Ron Weiland, an American Airlines pilot, died of ALS in 2019 after reporting a toxic fume event aboard his Boeing 767 and later repeatedly typing “fumes” as he lost the ability to speak.
Weiland was in good physical shape when he abruptly lost coordination in late 2016.
He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease — in June 2017 and rapidly declined, losing the ability to speak and communicating through an iPad, where his widow later said he repeatedly typed a single word: “fumes.”

The FAA has revoked the medical certificates of several pilots who developed neurological issues after fume [3][6]
A Los Angeles Times analysis[3] of NASA safety reports from January 2018 to December 2019 identified 362 voluntarily-reported fume events, in which almost 400 pilots, flight attendants and passengers received medical attention. On 73 or more of those flights, pilots used emergency oxygen. Four dozen pilots were impaired so far as to be unable to perform their duties. Boeing told the Times that they believe no credible data shows that oil leaks into the bleed air stream can cause serious injuries. By contrast, a judge who awarded workers' compensation to a pilot who had suffered toxic encephalopathy (brain damage) from a fume event condemned the airline industry's obstructionism around fume events.[3]
