  • Airliner Furniture

    Just wondering since there is so much talk of onboard fires lately, is there still anything in airliners that would be toxic or lethal if it caught on fire? I remember what was probably a long time back something about crawling on the floor to breathe what was supposed to be the least polluted air. But I guess after so much time, I figured planes were manufacture or retrofitted with furnishings that wouldn't kill you if they burned.

    EC,

    Not airliner specific but here's a quick breakdown...

    ANYTHING plastic when burnt is toxic, all circuit boards in electronincs have arsenic and cadmium in them - don't think I've been on a plane lately that didn't have plastic or electronics!!!
