Cabin Environment
There is an erroneous perception that the cabin environment of a pressurized aircraft is bad. That is not true. Treated by HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) filters – similar to those used in organ transplanting and burn
hospital units – the air in airplane cabins is climatized and
dehydrated, which makes the environment free from fungi and bacteria
and – because the air relative humidity becomes very low – even protects the existing airborne electronic equipment (avionics). The air flow is directed downwards, thus reducing the rate of contamination between seats. Additionally, all of the cabin air is replaced every three minutes. This will keep the oxygen rates throughout the aircraft at much higher levels than those required by human consumption, and carbon dioxide and particulate matter at acceptable levels with respect to passenger safety, health and comfort.

According to archeologists and anthropologists, the earliest clothing probably consisted of fur, leather, leaves or grass, draped , wrapped or tied about the body for protection from the elements. Knowledge of such clothing remains inferential, since clothing materials deteriorate quickly compared to stone, bone, shell and metal artifacts. Archeologists have identified very early sewing needles of bone and ivory from about 30,000 BC, found near Kostenki, Russia, in 1988.
