No, by "Cabin" I mean the portion of the airplane that the people sit

The pressurisation for almost all jets comes form the turbine
section. Several engines, most notoriously, RB211s, leak engine oil
into the turbine section where; it's heated, pyrolised , and then
injected in a fine mist into the cabin where it causes nerve damage
to the occupants. All jet engines do this to some degree or other. RR
engines, particularly the RB211 and particularly the early engines,
inject lots and lots of this into the cabin.
Nice.


I don't believe this, in the oh-so-particular aviation industry! Why
hasn't (a) anyone made a noise about it and (b) this affected people
adversely yet?


Well, there is some noise being made about it, but not enough.
Governments could fall over theis ( particularly the British one) and it
would devastate the aivaition industry.
It has affected people. Lots of them. Mostly pilots. Lots and lots have
been grounded by exposure to engine oil fumes.

It's a huge problem worldwide. It's barely discussed in the US....
The ramifications for the industry if this is ever looked square in
the eye are mindblowing.
Boeing have gone with a seperate blower for the 787 because of this
problem.


But if it was really such a problem, and considering that jets have
been around for 40 years now, there should've been a name against
some sort of sickness that this causes.

Quite disturbing, truth to tell. Thanks for the erudition

More for me than you, man!
