Kontaminierte Kabinenluft

Lufthansa: Kabinenluft ist sauber

Gemeinsam mit der Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover untersuchte die Lufthansa zwischen April 2013 und Mai 2015, ob die Kabinenluft in Flugzeugen tatsächlich kontaminiert ist. Das Ergebnis der Messungen auf 108 Testflügen: Die Luft in Flugzeugkabinen ist genauso sauber wie in Arbeitsräumen am Boden.

Die Messreihen wurden mit einem eigens entwickelten Gerätekoffer durchgeführt und umfassten mehr als 200 untersuchte Stoffe. Alle Werte lägen unterhalb gültiger deutscher und internationaler Grenzwerte, wie die Lufthansa mitteilte. Anlass für die Untersuchungen waren eine Reihe gesundheitlicher Probleme des Kabinenpersonals. Eine mutmaßliche Kontamination der Kabinenluft stand im Verdacht dafür verantwortlich zu sein.
