AVIATION — CASS
The air at 35,000 feet may not be as safe as you think.
Aircraft cabin air is bled directly from jet engines. When seals fail, toxic organophosphates enter the cabin – with sensor to detect them.
THE PROBLEM
Aviation has a hidden compound problem.
Every flight draws unfiltered engine air into the cabin. There is currently no standard for real-time detection of toxic compounds on board.

AEROTOXIC SYNDROME
Hidden in plain sight.
The “bleed air” system draws engine air directly into the cabin — with no chemical filtration. If an oil seal degrades, contaminated air reaches every person on board.
Organophosphates, TCP, and carbon monoxide are linked to neurological damage, chronic fatigue, and documented long-term disability in pilots and cabin crew.
CASS — Cabin Air Sensor Solutions — was built specifically to close this gap.
Bleed Air Contamination
Engine oil compounds including TCP and organophosphates enter when seals degrade — a documented but largely unreported hazard.
No Realtime Detection Standard
Current aviation regulations do not mandate continuous compound monitoring. Crew rely on smell and symptoms — all lagging indicators.
Pilot & Crew Health at Risk
Documented cases link repeated low-level exposure to cognitive impairment and chronic illness. The regulatory spotlight is growing.
Airline Liability Exposure
Without per-flight air quality data, airlines cannot defend against claims or demonstrate proactive duty of care.

ONE PLATFORM — PROVEN IN FLIGHT
CabinSense: Four reasons to deploy now.
01
Organophosphate & TCP Detection
Identifies the exact compounds responsible for aerotoxic events — in real time, before symptoms appear in crew or passengers.
02
Proven in Actual Flight
Verified for accuracy, robustness and operational flexibility in real in-flight conditions and certified aviation test facilities.
03
20+ Compounds Simultaneously
A single CASS unit screens for CO, CO₂, VOCs, organophosphates and additional cabin-specific agents in one real-time pass.
04
Globally Patented Nanotechnology
The same nano-optical platform powering BreathInsight — protected in the UK, US, EU and Japan. No competing portable solution exists.
