Breathing of toxic oil fumes blamed for BA pilot deaths

[Foreigner]

Two top BA pilots die within days of each other after complaining of long-term health effects of breathing in toxic oil fumes while flying | Mail Online

Wonder if other commercial pilots and other crew have cause for concern.

This subject has been around for a long time and like similiar popular diagnoses there is much debate.Very little science though.

As usual with the Daily Mail it's a case of style over substance
Always sad when young people die however there are several indicators in the article that there is likely a lot more to their deaths than toxic aircraft fumes.

IIRC, the BaE146 had plenty of complaints about fumes in the cabin.

I can certainly remember the awful smell in the Ansett 146s.
A shame as they were quite pleasant otherwise.
