Abstract Aircraft cabin air being supplied from the engines or APU is known to occasionally be contaminated with hydraulic fluids, engine oils, and pyrolysis products of these which need to be removed to ensure that the crew and passengers are not exposed to any contaminants. One way of achieving this is to filter these contaminants out of the outside air before it reaches the crew and passengers. Additionally, some aircraft cabin air is recirculated and this also needs to be filtered to remove bacteria and viruses. This chapter reviews a number of catalytic, physical, and ventilation system alternatives to simple filtration that could help to eliminate the risk of contaminated outside air or recirculated air from entering the passenger cabin.
