Beroepsziekte ??!
De beschikbare bronnen bevatten geen informatie over een verhoogd risico op straling of huidkanker voor piloten door hun beroep. Er kan op basis hiervan geen antwoord worden gegeven op deze vraag.

Mmm misschien het glas afdekken dan :rolleyes:

For male and female pilots, the primary risk of many years of exposure at these levels is the possibility of a small increase, about 1%, in their lifetime risk of cancer.
Large studies involving the health of pilots and aircrew have generally shown no significant association with an increased risk of cancer and, in particular, with the types of cancer that might be expected to arise from radiation exposure. This observation fits with the likely risks of low level exposure, and the scientific basis upon which the exposure standards are underpinned.
NASA first investigated the issue in the 1960s and 1970s when it was studying the feasibility of high-altitude supersonic commercial aviation transport, Mertens said. At the time radiation exposure during flight was deemed a negligible health concern for commercial aircraft at cruising altitudes given what was known about radiation and the number and types of flights common at that time.
Concerns have grown for three primary reasons. Pilots log twice as many flight hours now as then, while flight attendants typically log more hours than pilots. Epidemiological studies have shown this type of exposure to be more damaging than previously thought. And, the number of polar flights is increasing, Mertens said.
NAIRAS, funded in the spring of 2008 by NASA's Applied Sciences Program, is scheduled to be a three-year program. Mertens said he hopes the research will lead to improved methods for measuring radiation, predicting radiation levels and a better system to mitigate exposure for passengers, pilots and flight attendants. The research could also lead to the development of onboard instruments that would give pilots real-time radiation estimates on their control panels, alongside the rest of their instruments.
For every 10-year increase in flight experience, the rate of chromosome translocations increased by 81 percent. The link persisted even when the researchers factored in the pilots' ages.
"Our data suggest that pilots with long-term flying experience may be exposed to biologically significant doses of ionising radiation,"
Yong's team writes.
Long-range studies, the researchers conclude, are now needed to establish whether this translates into higher cancer risks.

Denk ook aan het ratten onderzoek, waaruit bleek dat ratten in chernobyl gezonder waren dan ratten in de UK, omdat ratten in de UK aan veel meer vervuiling blootstaan.

Een eventueel risico van straling hoeven we niet weg te poetsen met al dan niet kloppende vergelijkingen met andere gevaren.

Het artikel noemt huidkanker als een beroepsziekte bij piloten, de vraag is dus: Ontwikkelen piloten daadwerkelijk meer huidkanker dan de overige bevolking.

Was initieel wel blij op de F50 met relatief weinig straling op FL140, nu op FL410 en met dit artikel moet ik weer even op m'n hoofd krabben (niet te hard, anders valt er nog meer haar af).
Overigens moet je volgens mij het glas afdekken met loden platen wil je daar wat aan doen. Ik dacht niet echt dat het veel met het glas te maken had, dat het door het hele vliegtuig gaat en de mensen in de cabine er net zoveel last van hebben (maar veel minder vaak dus).
