This online international conference mapping the business, regulatory and technical solutions to cabin air contamination, follows on from the successful 2017 and 2019 conferences we organised in London. 2 Conference Objectives By way of expert global independent and industry speakers, the 2021 Aircraft Cabin Air Conference will provide a unique insight into the subject matter. Through a modular format, over 4 days (15002000 GMT), conference participants will have the opportunity to participate via Zoom, for free, in a wide selection of presentations and talks. These will range from the basic issues of contaminated air, the history, previous research, the flight safety implications and findings, medical aspects of exposures, current research and policy making, review of ICAO, IATA, EASA, IFALPA, ITF, GCAQE and FAA positions and guidance related to the issue, the new GCARS reporting system or discover the very latest news in the development of sensors and filtration technologies to detect and filter contaminated air. 4 The conference will seek to achieve the following key objectives:  Provide a historical overview of the contaminated air issue and its causes from the 1950s to present day.  Map out the flight safety aspects of contaminated air through case studies, discussion and air accident investigation findings.  Disseminate the latest medical and scientific theories and findings on the health aspects of exposure to contaminated air.  Give guidance of workers compensation, legal and the regulatory aspects of cabin air quality.  Provide regulators, airlines, occupational health, policy makers, public health officials, engine manufacturers, researchers, academia, airline workers, passengers, media and other interested parties, the opportunity to expand their knowledge and understanding of the contaminated air issue.  Examine the latest development towards bleed air filtration, contaminated air warning sensor systems and other potential solutions. 3 Conference Speakers Mr. Paul Roux Sr. Principal Engineer R&D Pall Aerospace Dr. Rick Mlcak Sr. Principal Engineer Pall Aerospace Mr. Victor Leung Global Marketing Manager Clean AirBASF 5 Mr. Dragos Munteanu Assistant Director Safety and Flight Operations - IATA Mr. Eoin Coates and Mr. Kris Major European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) Dr. Mariano Di Matteo Aero-Thermo-Mechanics Department, Université Libre de Bruxelles Mr. David Conrad Vice President, Business Development PTI Technologies Mr. Mike McConnell Aero Data Science / L2 Aviation Mr. Ricardo Pavia Aircraft Maintenance | Systems Engineering - TAP Mr. Jonathan Saltman Member - Business Development Aviation Clean Air Professor Dr.-Ing.
