I was worried when the ventilation on the plane wasn't helping the indoor air
I thought there might be a problem with the airplane, because I didn’t know where the smell was coming from
My wife and I were traveling on an airplane, on our way home from visiting some friends and family. It was very late at night and it was dark outside and inside of the plane. All of the lights were off, and I started to smell the most horrible and terrible odor. I couldn’t pinpoint where the odor was coming from, but it smelled really bad. It was an unusual odor and I decided to say something to the person who was walking up and down the aisle. The flight attendant told me that she was aware of the smell and they were trying to find the cause. She urged me to turn the ventilation fan all the way to the highest spot to help clean the air. The ventilation system on a plane has an air purifier. As air runs through the ventilation system, it is purified and then sent back out on the plane. This is one of the reasons why a plane is a safe place during the time of covid. There are extremely powerful air filters that get rid of indoor air pollutants, toxins, and smell. When the plane ventilation system didn’t get rid of the odor, I was worried and on alert. I thought there might be a problem with the airplane, because I didn’t know where the smell was coming from. I was starting to get worried and I thought about waking up my wife, but she was sleeping very soundly. I sat there in the dark hoping the plane was not going to fall out of the sky. When we safely landed, I was so thankful.
