=== Cabin air quality === Poor cabin air quality is a subject of ongoing study in relation to symptoms such as [[headache]], [[fatigue]], [[fever]], and [[Respiratory system|respiratory]] difficulties among many others that have been reported by flight attendants, particularly on long-haul routes. There is also much concern regarding the transmission of [[Infection|contagious diseases]], particularly [[tuberculosis]]. An open question remains whether these complaints are due to poor cabin air quality or to other factors inherent in flights, such as lowered [[Atmospheric pressure|barometric pressure]], [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]], low [[humidity]], etc.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rayman|first=Russell B.|date=March 2002|title=Cabin air quality: an overview|journal=Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine|volume=73|issue=3|pages=211β215|issn=0095-6562|pmid=11908887}}</ref> Other chemical contaminants found in the cabin may include engine leakages, [[pesticide]]s and [[flame retardant]]s, which contain compounds that may act as [[Endocrine disruptor|hormone disruptors]] and increase the risk of some [[cancer]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Pinkerton|first1=Lynne E.|last2=Hein|first2=Misty J.|last3=Grajewski|first3=Barbara|last4=Kamel|first4=Freya|date=July 2016|title=Mortality From Neurodegenerative Diseases in a Cohort of US Flight Attendants|journal=American Journal of Industrial Medicine|volume=59|issue=7|pages=532β537|doi=10.1002/ajim.22608|issn=0271-3586|pmc=4915549|pmid=27184412}}</ref>
