        pressure, temperature, rate of cabin air circulation, the 
        quantity of fresh air per occupant, and humidity on current 
        domestic aircraft would reduce or eliminate the risk of illness 
        or discomfort to airline passengers and crew; and
            (3) to establish a long-term research program to examine 
        potential health problems to airline passengers and crew that 
        may arise in an airplane cabin on a flight within the United 
        States because of cabin air quality as a result of the 
        conditions and changes described in paragraphs (1) and (2).
    (d) Participation.--In carrying out the research program 
established under subsection (a), the Administrator shall encourage 
participation in the program by representatives of aircraft 
manufacturers, air carriers, aviation employee organizations, airline 
passengers, and academia.
