Results of FAA Cabin Ozone Monitoring Program in Commercial Aircraft in 1978 and 1979.
Abstract
This report contains descriptions of the instrumentation and procedures used during the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) program to measure the concentration of ozone in the cabins of commercial aircraft on revenue flights during 1978 and 1979. Based on the limited data set obtained, the following conclusions are stated: (1) The data set confirms the fact that high concentrations of ozone are at times present in commercial aircraft cabins; (2) The data verifies the increased occurrence of excessive ozone exposure for flights at high altitudes and latitudes; (3) The long-range aircraft (B-747, DC-10, L-1011, DC-8 and B-707), which generally fly at higher altitudes, are more likely to encounter excessive ozone concentrations than short-range aircraft (B-727, B-737 and DC-9).
