Cosmic radiation exposure and persistent cognitive dysfunction
The Mars mission will result in an inevitable exposure to cosmic radiation that has been shown to cause cognitive impairments in rodent models, and possibly in astronauts engaged in deep space travel. Of particular concern is the potential for cosmic radiation exposure to compromise critical decision making during normal operations or under emergency conditions in deep space. Rodents exposed to...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction, a probable cause of persistent oxidative stress after exposure to ionizing radiation.
Several recent studies have suggested that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from mitochondria contribute to genomic instability after exposure of the cells to ionizing radiation, but the mechanism of this process is not yet fully understood. We examined the hypothesis that irradiation induces mitochondrial dysfunction to cause persistent oxidative stress, which contributes to genomic...
متن کاملParticulate matter exposure induces persistent lung inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
Epidemiologic and animal studies have shown that exposure to particulate matter air pollution (PM) is a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Whether PM-induced lung and systemic inflammation is involved in this process is not clear. We hypothesized that PM exposure causes lung and systemic inflammation, which in turn leads to vascular endothelial dysfunction, a key step in the in...
متن کاملAircrew exposure from cosmic radiation on commercial airline routes.
As a result of the recent recommendations of the ICRP 60, and in anticipation of possible regulation on occupational exposure of Canadian-based aircrew, an extensive study was carried out by the Royal Military College of Canada over a one-year period to measure the cosmic radiation at commercial jet altitudes. A tissue-equivalent proportional counter was used to measure the ambient total dose e...
متن کاملAssessing exposure to cosmic radiation during long-haul flights.
The assessment of exposure to cosmic radiation on board aircraft is one of the concerns of organizations responsible for radiation protection. Cosmic-particle flux increases with altitude and latitude and depends on solar activity. To illustrate the effect of these parameters, exposure has been estimated on several airlines operating subsonic and supersonic aircraft on transatlantic, Siberian a...
