Just this morning I was made aware of the latest issue of our CASA (Australian) Flight Safety Magazine which contains an article on contaminated air in airliner cabins as the result of abnormal ops (equipment defects resulting in oil leaks etc)

It is of interst to gas turbine modellers because it describes the medical aspects of even short term exposure to engine oils of the very type we use.

The relevant aricle is on Page 60.

Everyone who uses synthetic turbine oil should, in my opinion but its YOUR health, read it.
