Aviation Organophosphate Information Site (AOPIS) is a non-profit group set up by airline crews in Australia in 2001. AOPIS provides campaigns and information by way of articles, scientific papers, research papers, governmental policy and a documentary, on medical and flight safety issues relating to contaminated air exposure on commercial and military aircraft. Contaminated air is defined as bleed air contaminated with synthetic oils used in jet engines or hydraulic fluids used in aircraft. Aerotoxic syndrome is a term used to describe the alleged health ill-effects resulting from exposure to contaminated cabin air.
