If You Fly Commercial Airlines Be Forewarned About Aerotoxic Syndrome
What’s Aerotoxic syndrome, and have you experienced it while a passenger in a modern jet airliner?
Many flight crews, regardless of the airline, experience serious debilitating health problems from toxic air in the cockpit and cabin. Passengers, too!
Coincidentally, I know of a person who just about every time she flies, she comes down with bronchitis, infected sinuses, sore throat and/or other respiratory problems. Somehow I don’t think she’s able to make the connection between toxic airplane air and her subsequent health distresses occurring within a day of flying.
This article deals with a former KLM pilot and medical doctor, Michel Mulder, who began an in-depth investigation in 2013 into Aerotoxic syndrome, which affects airline pilots, crews and passengers. Mulder contends contaminated air flows through the engine into the cockpit and cabin. “Bleed-air” is causing the problem. Neurologist Dr. Gerard Hegaman contends the industry no longer can ignore the symptoms associated with Aerotoxic syndrome.

Dr. Hegaman ascertained that one KLM pilot, Willem Felderhof, has a genetic sensitivity or DNA mutation, something that also happens with—and affects—individuals who are sensitive to toxic chemicals in vaccines, microwaves, Wi-Fi and electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and radiofrequencies (RFs) that those technologies produce: another modern syndrome, electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS).
Numerous people globally are now Multiple Chemical Sensitives (MCS), which has been identified by the World Health Organization as Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance (IEI) and encompasses what has been labeled “modern technology diseases” stemming from the corporate and technological push to introduce innovative products with no apparent regard for environmental and/or human health impacts. Furthermore, “consensus science” drives the accepted medical and corporate beliefs—not factual science studies—that chemicals and microwaves can do harm so, therefore, more research studies are needed!
Former KLM flight attendant Evelyn Van den Heuvel also claims suffering with the occupational disease associated with flying—Aerotoxic syndrome [3]. Evelyn saw Dr. Hegaman, who confirmed her symptoms despite her healthful lifestyle.
KLM brought in Inspectorate Dr. Teake Pal of the Dutch Center for Occupational Diseases, who seemingly expresses the corporate party-line, i.e., denial and it’s a ‘mental issue’. Dr. Pal examined five KLM employees and came to the conclusion they don’t have an occupational disease. He contends mental conditioning may affect people’s attitudes about chemicals and fumes. Furthermore, the “concentrations are too low”. What? Isn’t that an admission those fumes are present in the cockpit and cabin? Furthermore, how can anyone determine another person’s capacity, or genetic disposition, to cope with toxins at whatever level(s) of pollution they appear? For some people, “too low” is not low enough!
Flight attendant Van den Heuvel proposed to KLM that she fly only on the Dreamliner, the Boeing 787 [4] aircraft, which does not draw air from the engines. KLM denied her request and then fired her.
How many KLM crew members were—or are—compromised by Aerotoxic syndrome? How many employees has KLM come to an agreement with to settle health claims by using confidential and non-disclosure agreements, plus monetary payments?
