摘要

Civilian aircraft transport more than one billion passengers throughout the world each year. Asthmatic attacks are frequent and occur in both passengers and airline professionals. During airline (lights, pressure conditions, the air conditioning system and hygrometry can cause specific problems for asthmatics. Exposure to ozone, to other toxic substances and the stress of flying can contribute to asthma attacks. Knowledge of these elements allows us to anticipate these problems and to have appropriate answers for the patients.
