Air quality monitors definitely do need to be installed on airplanes in order to measure the scope of the problem before panicking over it.
From the parent article:
"Over a two-year period, nearly 400 pilots, flight attendants and passengers reported receiving medical attention after these “fume events,” and four dozen pilots were described as impaired to the point of being unable to perform their duties, The Times found."
Compared to: 178 million passengers and 99 million passengers in 2022 and 2021.

Now I'm not sure where 'Times' got their numbers, and I'm confident the issue is under reported. However as it stands the issue seems really minor. Let's start with air quality monitors on every aircraft and then go from there.
