Flight attendants and pilots have highest risk of dying from radiation-linked cancers, study says

A recent study reveals that commercial pilots and flight attendants are at a significantly higher risk of dying from cancers linked to radiation compared to many other professions. This heightened risk stems from prolonged exposure to high-altitude cosmic rays during flights. The findings have prompted calls for greater awareness and specialized health screenings for these workers. This study underscores the importance of considering occupational hazards in long-term health planning and highlights the need for preventive measures to protect these high-risk individuals.
