It is a set of respiratory and neurological symptoms that originate from relatively frequent contact with toxins present in the air of commercial aircraft cabins, as it comes from the engines of the aircraft itself and contains high amounts of chemical products, mainly from synthetic oils used in turbines and compressors. These chemical products are used as antioxidants, lubricants, flame retardants, etc., such as organophosphorus pesticides, especially tricresyl phosphates (TCP) and PBDEs.
Although cases have been recorded since 1999, it is a little-known pathology, but with more and more cases, which requires specialized knowledge for its diagnosis and treatment.
The usual acute symptoms are neurological: headaches, difficulty memorizing or concentrating, dizziness or sensation of vertigo, convulsions, tremors, panic attacks... To these symptoms are sometimes added respiratory symptoms such as cough, itchy throat, difficulty breathing, nosebleeds, etc.
Gastrointestinal disorders, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, also sometimes appear. Muscle pains. Rash or skin itching. Fatigue. Sudden increase in blood pressure.
In chronic cases, signs of degeneration of brain tissue, surface antineuronal antibodies, and cognitive impairment of various levels are detected, as well as depression and/or anxiety.
