cheers anticrash , have checked it out ,
reason why i mentioned it was a friend of mine thats a radioligist (probably not spelt right ) mentioned a conference in leeds that she was at recently and aircrew exposure to radiation was brought up .
she was comparing european flights (2 to 3 hours ) to the level of radiation used in various X-rays , and when i heard that it was possible to be equivalent to half a chest X- ray thats when i got interested
the figures are not concrete due to a low level of research in to the topic , but i could do four european flights a day , 5 times a week , i should be glowing by now ,
so when some one mentioned a dedicated study , i was interested to finally learn the truth ,
its obvious that the higher you go the more radiation there is , and with most modern jets hitting FL400 and above , we must be getting a fair bit , particularly if you do 900 hours a year .
and thats with out slolar flare activity
just a thought
