Pilots More Likely To Develop Skin Cancer Due To Higher Levels Of UV Radiation At High Altitude? - skin cancer more condition_symptoms moles
I can not remember where I read it, but it was the result of a test by pilots in Iceland. Do you think that this is true? The only way to bear the sunlight into the cabin through the windshield, and most planes summit and most drivers sunglasses when it's sunny. Are they as dangerous as people on the ground for the development of skin cancer?

This is not the UV radiation is dangerous, because the windows in a jet effectively absorb most UV radiation.
The danger is, gamma, which also is absorbed from the sun and usually from the lower layers of the atmosphere. I once had a nuclear physicist, a flight on board (before 9 / 11!) By gamma ray detectors, and has shown me that the driver) (and more people are exposed to gamma rays of 40,000 feet of factory workers of nuclear power! It was interesting to see how the intensity varies with altitude. He explained that this was contributing a function of time and intensity to the total exposure.
But after 39 years of commercial and military aircraft, I am as healthy as ever, and I've never heard of an increased risk of cancer in my teammates.
