Her Majesty\u2019s Government is not aware of any such data. However, Public Health England advise that the Committee on the Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) have reviewed published data in 2007 and in 2013 data from four new research projects undertaken by Cranfield University relating to the cabin air environment, ill-health in aircraft crews and the possible relationship to smoke/fume events in aircraft.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Although this review focused on cabin crew the possibility of exposure of the passengers to fumes was considered. Passengers, and by extrapolation an unborn child, which spend much less time than crew in the environment are much less likely to be exposed to rare occurrences of fume episodes. Furthermore, the exposures detected in cabin air were similar to or lower than occupational (workplace) short-term exposure limits. Workplace exposure limits take into account susceptible groups and therefore would protect pregnant women.<\/p>
