Radiation risk in airflight
Radio 4 (BBC in the UK) Today Program had an item about the alleged risk of ionising radiation to crew and PAX during airflights.
Is this yet another piece of media sensationalism or is there any truth in it?
I was always given to understand that one gets more radiation from sitting infront of a Colour TV or a Computer Monitor and much more from a dental Xray than from normal air travel.
Can anyone with the technical knowledge give me some facts on this please?
