The report discusses the adequacy of air quality and standards aboard commercial aircraft for the health and safety of all who fly. Addressed are aspects of cabin air such as the quantity of outside air, the quality of onboard air, the extent of pressurization, the characteristics of humidification, the presence of cosmic radiation, contaminants (such as bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms), and pollutants (such as environmental tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ozone) that could be responsible for health problems in the long or short run. It recommends some remedies for problems discovered, and outlines the safety precautions necessary to protect passengers in the event of in-flight fires which produce smoke and fumes.
