New Study Shows That Pilots & Flight Attendants Deaths From Cancer Are Extremely Elevated!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. New study shows that pilots and flight attendants' deaths from cancer are extremely elevated. They may have forgot to include heavy business travelers like I was for over 20 years. I flew globally for 20 plus years about four times a week for an oil and gas exploration company. Of course, I've already told you about the radiation and how incredibly high it gets the higher your flight travels. Some flights have 100 times plus, not 100% more of the radiation, 100 times the radiation a human absorbs at ground level. I will show you at the end of the video the elevated levels of RADs or Radiation Absorption Doses that are being soaked up by these professionals and heavy travelers based on the altitude of their flights at the end of this video. This summer, French courts decided an issue that scientists have struggled with for years. Aviation radiation is real. We already knew that. and it increases the risk of cancer in flight crews. Sophie Leno, 59, flew for Air France for 30 years, logging more than 12,600 hours in the air. In July, judges in Bayonne recognized her cancer as an occupational disease. A new Harvard study agrees, concluding that flight crews die of radiation-related cancers even more often than nuclear workers i guess they forgot to mention pilots and flight attendants as one of the most dangerous jobs in our survey we reviewed last week writing in the august 17th issue of JAMA International Medicine researchers led by Michelle Patel of Brigham and Women's hospital examined nearly 13 million U.S. death certificates from 2020 to 2024 out of 503 professions. Seen here, flight attendants ranked number one for deaths via radiation-related cancers, while pilots ranked number two. I guess there are just more flight attendants than there are pilots in the industry which would make up for the skew. The reason is galactic cosmic rays and radiation, high energy particles from supernova explosions and other violent events in the cosmos pepper Earth's atmosphere from all directions. This radiation percolates all the way down to aviation altitudes. Even a single cross-country flight can deliver as much radiation as five dental x-rays. International flights, especially if over the poles, are even worse. Pilots and flight attendants accumulate three to six millisieverts per year, according to the CDC. This is the largest occupational dose of any workforce in the United States, roughly 10 times what a just frequent flyer would receive. Of course, that would depend on how frequent. The study also looked at aircraft mechanics and assemblers, people who spent their careers around airplanes but rarely left the ground. They were ranked in the middle of the pack out of 503 occupations. They had fewer radiation-related cancers than flight crews, but they were elevated. I wonder why they even scored as high as they did, unless the radiation somehow radiates the actual outside of the aircraft? Maybe I don't understand. For years, the link between aviation radiation and cancer was complicated by two other potential carcinogens, working the graveyard shifts and breathing second-hand smoke, i.e. they used to allow people to smoke on planes. Both were thought to cause cancer in flight crews. The new study shows that cosmic rays play maybe the biggest role of all. Let's take a look at some flights and see how much radiation you receive at different altitudes at radsonaplane.com. All right, I've pulled up a daily chart of some flights so we can see what type of radiation one would receive at different altitudes. So what we have here is, well, the top category up here is about 45,000 feet, and these are your charter flights. Learjets, bombardiers, not commercial flights. They regularly don't climb that high. But FlexJet, ExoJet, they're receiving 74 times sea level dose, not 74% more, 74 times the radiation. These are all at 45,000 feet. Now, I've seen those charter flights at, well, much higher dose rates than this. This is today. If we move down to commercial flights, they fly from about 35,000 feet to about 41,000 feet, depending on how long of a route. Well, you see that you receive anywhere from 40 times the radiation you would receive at ground level to 60 times the radiation you would receive at ground level. And these are just regular flights from Chicago to Baltimore, Chicago to Washington, Los Angeles to Newark, obviously. And then, well, most flights don't really climb as high as 41,000 feet. When we look at a regular flight, it's regularly about 35,000 to 37,000 feet and those flights are receiving about 40 times 40 times not 40 percent more of the radiation someone at ground level would receive now we'll look at short commercial flights notice they're all one hour or less here and we're talking about short jumps and these are regularly turbo props not even jet planes, and they're topping out at about 27,000, 21,000 to 27,000 feet, and they're still receiving 15 to 21 times the radiation that someone at ground level would receive. Now, they used to have the private planes on here as well. They'd top out at about 15,000 17,000 feet, and they were about 7 to 12 times the radiation that you would receive at ground level. I don't know why that has been removed. This is just a heads up, folks. The actual occupation where you have the most chance of getting cancer later on in life is, well, in the transportation, air transportation industry. God bless. Please share and subscribe. Give us a thumbs up, please. God bless you all.
