Standards

There are no current standards for the quality of cabin air filtration aboard commercial aircraft in the U.S. However, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), an organization with leading research on cabin air quality, has developed Standard 161-2007. This voluntary standard for air quality within commercial aircraft has the stamp of approval of the expert body within ASHRAE that included Boeing and Airbus, as well as airlines, crew member unions and passenger representatives.

Furthermore, there are no CAQ standards in force. ASHRAE has recently published CAQ standards for aircraft carrying more than 20 passengers, but the document has not been formally accepted by the FAA:
