Harvard: Piloții și însoțitorii de zbor sunt mai predispuși la cancer

A Harvard study reveals that pilots and flight attendants have the highest cancer mortality rates among over 500 occupations analyzed, linked to cosmic radiation exposure. The research examined nearly 13 million death certificates from 2020 to 2024, highlighting significant cancer-related deaths among these groups. Cosmic radiation is suspected as the main factor due to reduced atmospheric protection at high altitudes. The study suggests that regular cancer screenings for flight personnel may be necessary, although it does not prove a direct causal link between radiation and cancer. The findings raise concerns about the health monitoring of those who spend their careers flying.
