Study: Pilots and Flight Attendants Face Highest Radiation-Related Cancer Mortality
Original: Pilots and Flight Attendants Have the Highest Radiation-Related Cancer Mortality
A JAMA study finds pilots and flight attendants have the highest radiation-related cancer mortality of any occupation, likely reflecting long-term exposure to cosmic radiation at altitude. The finding has drawn attention because it points to an occupational health risk for aviation crews that is well documented but rarely publicized, renewing discussion about how airlines monitor and limit crew exposure.
Why now: New research quantifying elevated radiation-linked cancer deaths among aviation crews is striking and relevant to many frequent travelers and workers.
