Research indicates elevated cancer risk for flight crews
A study suggests that pilots and flight attendants could be at a greater risk for specific types of cancer because of extended exposure to cosmic ionizing radiation while at high altitudes. The cumulative impact of regular flying contributes to this exposure, and health risks may be further compounded by irregular sleep patterns and disrupted circadian rhythms. Specialists have detailed the findings and provided guidance on how aviation personnel can work to minimize these potential health threats.
