TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Smoke/fumes in the cockpit JO - Aviation, space, and environmental medicine A1 - Rayman, R. B. A1 - McNaughton, G. B. SP - 738 EP - 740 VL - 54 IS - 8 N2 - During the period 1970-80, there were reported in USAF 89 incidents of smoke/fumes in the cockpit during flight. The origin of the fumes in most cases was organic petroleum derivatives, which caused a multitude of symptoms including CNS dysfunction and mucous membrane irritation. Flight surgeons should be well-read in aerospace toxicology because of the threat to flying safety posed by the many fluids and substances necessary for the operation of today's modern aircraft.
