Show understanding toward pilots
The study indicates that pilots and flight attendants are highly exposed to the risks of developing radiation-related cancers. The death rate from these cancers is approximately 6.9% among flight attendants and 6.7% among pilots, surpassing many other professions. This is attributed to their continuous exposure to cumulative radiation doses during high-altitude flights, where atmospheric protection decreases and radiation doses increase by 3 to 6 millisieverts annually, depending on flight routes. The study highlights the necessity of including cumulative radiation dose measurements in pilots' and crew members' professional records, along with calls for further research and awareness efforts to ensure their long-term health protection.
