The article Aerotoxic syndrome has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The article is a travesty. An alleged medical syndrome that has no scientific basis.
If one reads all the links to support it, you find that there are only anecdotal complaints about illness from those who have a strong financial incentive to blame the alleged maladies on their work environment. No evidence to support their claims that the airliner cabin air they breathe, is the source of their complaints. Not one, single shred of valid evidence to support those claims. All the scientific testing that has been done, finds there is no hazard at all.
This syndrome, has a political agenda (promoted by two labor unions) behind it and the chief "authority" they cite is Dr. Malcolm Hooper, who has attached his name to a variety of other environmental political agendas.
If Wikipedia is to have articles about the alleged anecdotal reasons for illnesses, then lets get cracking and include all the superstitions for causing other illnesses too. This article has no more scientific support for such a claim, than those do, so why not?
The tactics of the group that is pushing this "illness," is the real tip-off. They list page after page of links to articles that allegedly support their complaint, but when you read them, they are only about distantly related subjects (like the Australian study which examined the incidents and risks of pilot incapacitation), but most of the the articles do not discuss the alleged dangers of cabin air, and they certainly provide no evidence of any proven case where any pilot or flight attendant has ever been incapacitated by polluted cabin air.
Their supposed scientific studies, amount to nothing more than a giant snow job, with hordes of articles that have no relevance at all. EditorASC (talk) 15:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
