Résumé

The authors show that the low humidity experienced in the aircraft cabin environment is likely to result in adverse effects on flight attendants and passengers, irritation of the eyes, skin and upper airways. The paper reports that intervention studies of building air quality show a modest -about 10%- increase in relative humidity can alleviate such symptoms. Increased recirculation of cabin air can increase relative humidity but may increase risks of infection. New tests are to be performed.
