ABSTRACT
In order to improve the passengers and crew comfort during the flight, the aim
of the present paper is a study of the cabin air quality through experimental
measures on randomly selected flight segments of an Italian airline company,
WindJet.
Carbon dioxide, ultrafine particles, temperature and relative humidity have been
measured by using low cost high efficiency instrumental equipments.
Exploring ways to improve aircraft cabin air quality, WindJet and University of
Palermo are investigating equipment, filters and components of the ventilation
system.
In this paper, after description of both ventilation systems for aircrafts of
WindJet and the instrumental equipments used to measure environmental
characteristics on board, obtained results are shown
