Characterisation of the toxicity of aviation turbine engine oils after pyrolysis (AVOIL)

European Aviation Safety Agency

Although various research has been conducted over the past decades there still remain many unanswered questions in relation to cabin air quality (CAQ) issues. Following the call for tenders EASA.2014.OP.16, the Agency concluded a contract to implement a preliminary measurement campaign setting the scene for a large-scale measurement campaign on board commercially operated large transport aeroplanes, with the aim to identify precisely if there are any safety and/or potential long/short-term health risks of long-term and peak-event exposure to cabin air contaminations with a view to establishing effective mitigating measures.
According to existing reports, it appears that there are different open questions when it comes to characterising the toxicity of engine oils and the physiological effects that can be experienced from exposure to oil fumes or smokes in an aeroplane cabin environment.
In light of these open questions, the Agency has decided to publish a complementary call for tenders in order to characterise the toxicity of typical aviation turbine engine/APU oil fumes/smokes after it goes through the pyrolysis process in the engine/APU and bleed air system taking also into account the special environmental conditions on board large transport aeroplanes in flight. This should help the Agency to better assess the oil contamination concerns of some stakeholders and the results of the EASA flight measurements campaign.
