Toxic fumes are leaking Into airplanes, sickening crews and passengers. The problem is getting worse and not much is being done about it. From Ben Katz, me, and @andrewtangel.bsky.social for @wsj.com. 🔓 www.wsj.com/business/air...
Text of the article, reading:

> The Journal’s reporting—based on a review of more than one million FAA and National Aeronautics and Space Administration reports, thousands of pages of documents and research papers and more than 100 interviews—shows that aircraft manufacturers and their airline customers have played down health risks, successfully lobbied against safety measures, and made cost-saving changes that increased the risks to crew and passengers.

> The fumes—sometimes described as smelling of “wet dog,” “Cheetos” or “nail polish”—have led to emergency landings, sickened passengers and affected pilots’ vision and reaction times midflight, according to official reports. 

> Most odors in aircraft aren’t toxic, and neither are all vapors. The effects are often fleeting, mild or present no symptoms.

> But they can also be longer-lasting and severe, according to doctors, medical records and affected crew members.

Washington Post Executive Editor Matt Murray today issued this statement on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's unfounded personal attack on my colleague Ellen Nakashima:
Statement from Executive Editor Matt Murray: "For three decades, Ellen Nakashima has been one of the most careful, fair-minded, and highly regarded reporters covering national security. Reaching out to potential sources rather than relying solely on official government press statements regarding matters of public interest is neither nefarious nor is it harassment. It is basic journalism. DNI Gabbard's unfounded personal attack reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about the role of journalists to report on government officials and hold power to account, without fear or favor and regardless of party. The Post remains committed to that vital and constitutionally protected work."
