Seem to be at odds with each other. But, for what it's worth, I agree that there is a distinctive "aircraft smell" whenever I've flown, and I'm not particularly keen on breathing it in either.
- Dalewyn 4y agoIt's not contradictory; if anyone can scientifically demonstrate that air which smells foul is in fact clean, perhaps in defiance of natural instincts, I would have to concede it's clean because facts are facts. Thing is, I haven't seen anything from anyone to that effect other than the "air is cycled through HEPA" canned PR response which is hardly convincing. If there are scientific papers which note the contents of aircraft cabin air and compares it to objective definitions of clean air, coming to the conclusion the aircraft cabin air is clean, I'm interested and maybe they can change my mind.
