Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether exposure to synthetic jet engine oil and hydraulic fluids or their decomposition products poses any risk to unborn children.
This question was answered on 23rd December 2022
The Department for Transport has asked the UK Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) to update its 2007 and 2013 reviews and statements on the potential human health effects due to fume and contamination events. This review is continuing and a statement will be published in due course. However, effects on an unborn child are not being specifically assessed.
