I created a new map for air quality measurements at Berlin venues and clubs, since the website I used until now was taken down. For all my Aranet4 CO2 measurements please check:

@HurraNao Wurde grad von so einem Lieferarschloch fast umgefahren, weil ich mich erdreistet hab, bei Grün die Straße überqueren zu wollen. Und auf der anderen Seite kommt mir die nächste Fahrradtrulla aufm Fußweg entgegen 🤬

[lamestain @lamestain__]

@Slumlor29851577 @HurraNao Ich fand schon. Die Location unterm S-Bahn-Bogen war vielleicht nicht so ideal, aber ich fand's interessant und es war schön, ein paar "alte Bekannte" wiederzusehen (z. B. die Fische vom Frankfurter Tor)

@CarnivoraCC Men finally being useful... thought the day would never come 😅

@FamilyMSL Ich find Saturo ganz gut, und für meine Oma haben wir diese Gemüsesuppe, die zumindest ihr gut schmeckt (ich hab nicht probiert, da nicht vegan): https://t.co/ybN8ZNdGDT

@benon101 @GDRvisuals This photo looks strange to me because the streetlight looks like nothing I’ve ever seen before, but it seems to be a real photo

@HurraNao @Slumlor29851577 Den Themenpark gab's im Buchstabenmuseum, das aber inzwischen auch geschlossen ist

@suchnerve In my experience people are often fine with a single test, but if you want to re-test them after 24 hours or at the next meeting, the discussions start

[lamestain @lamestain__]

Back home after two weeks away and the absolutely terrible coughing from one of my neighbours that started three days before I left is STILL going on

[lamestain @lamestain__]

@RagingBuddhist @suchnerve Yeah, but they mostly wear medical masks, don’t they? Only respirators offer true protection

BEFORE YOU BOARD YOUR NEXT FLIGHT READ THIS

A former airline captain named John Hoyte reached out to me recently. He spent nearly 30 years flying commercial aircraft, developed serious neurological damage, lost his career, and has been trying to get this story properly investigated ever since.

He sent me documents spanning two decades. The scale of what is in them is HUGE.

What he shared includes parliamentary records, a 320-page published report from the British pilots union, @BBC coverage, House of Lords testimony, and active litigation in multiple countries. This has been heard at the highest levels. It has largely been buried.

Most commercial jet aircraft use a system called bleed air. Instead of drawing fresh air from outside, the plane takes compressed air directly from the engines and pumps it into the cabin. That is the air you breathe for the entire flight.

When engine seals wear down, oil and hydraulic fluid can leak into that air supply. Those fluids contain organophosphates, the same compounds found in certain pesticides and nerve agents. Inhaling them can cause neurological damage, memory loss, and chronic fatigue. In documented cases, far worse.

This design has been in use since the 1950s. The health risk has been documented for just as long.

In 2005, @BALPApilots, the British pilots union, published a full conference report on this with the University of New South Wales. The following year, 27 BALPA pilots were tested by University College London. All 27 showed evidence of toxic poisoning and reduced cognitive function. Not some of them. All of them.

@BBCPanorama covered it in 2008. The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee heard evidence on it in 2007 and 2008. In February 2007, 40 unrelated passengers on a single XL Airways flight were seriously injured by contaminated cabin air. Their cases went to court. Twenty of them won a US jurisdiction ruling in 2010.

A UK coroner recorded a death linked to this in 2015.

France has formally recognised aerotoxic syndrome as an occupational disease. In the US, a law professor is suing Boeing for $40 million after a single exposure left him permanently injured. Morgan & Morgan, America's largest personal injury firm, is now actively taking mass cases on behalf of passengers and crew.

John himself was one of those 27 pilots tested by UCL. He founded the Aerotoxic Association in 2007 at the Houses of Parliament to support other survivors. He has been fighting for this for nearly 20 years.

Almost every commercial jet aircraft except the Boeing 787 Dreamliner uses the bleed air system. The 787 uses a different design that avoids this problem entirely. That safer design has existed for years. That fact alone says everything.

BBC has not covered this story since 2020. The UK Civil Aviation Authority continues to say there is no positive evidence of a link. The Aerotoxic Association has been contacted by more than 2,500 people who believe they have been affected.

John is looking for mainstream investigative journalists who want to dig deep into this. He is an expert witness with decades of evidence and is willing to answer every question. He has a passenger injured on that 2007 flight, Samantha Sabatino, whose case is in the parliamentary record.

This is a genuine story of enormous public interest and it deserves proper investigation.

If you are a journalist or researcher and want to speak to John directly, his contact details are in the comments.

I will add media coverage links in the comments section.

@NoHealthNoFun I recently wore a mask outdoors while meeting friends who arrived in Berlin on a transatlantic flight. Always feels like I'm overdoing it a bit, but things like this tell me that being cautious is still justified

[lamestain @lamestain__]

Excerpt from a newsletter I received two days ago. I'm glad they still use the c-word and not "mystery virus", but being sick or healthy doesn't have to be a lottery - just wear a mask and you lower your chances of illness

@ariccio @gerdcastan @TaylorLorenz @Co2Trackers @airspothealth From my personal measurements I can say that live shows, albeit bad, have better CO2 levels than most doctor's offices I frequent

@gerdcastan Surprise, surprise (not)
