Cancer incidence in airline cabin crew.
R ecent reports highlighting increased cancer incidence and mortality among airline pilots and cabin crew have raised concerns about potential exposure of these workers to known or suspected carcinogens, in particular cosmic ionising radiation. Higher radiation dose rates are found at higher altitudes and in the polar regions, and mean doses to flight crew have been increasing over time as long...
متن کاملJet lag: minimizing it's effects with critically timed bright light and melatonin administration.
The symptoms of jet lag cause distress to an increasing number of travelers. Potentially they may impair sleep, mood and cognitive performance. Critically timed exposure to bright light and melatonin administration can help to reduce symptoms. Bright light is one of the most powerful synchronizers of human rhythms and melatonin serves as a "dark pulse" helping to induce nighttime behaviors. Thu...
متن کاملCancer incidence in airline cabin crew: experience from Sweden.
AIMS To determine the cancer incidence in Swedish cabin crew. METHODS Cancer incidence of cabin crew at the Swedish Scandinavian Airline System (SAS) (2324 women and 632 men) employed from 1957 to 1994 was determined during 1961-96 from the Swedish National Cancer Register. The cancer incidence in cabin crew was compared with that of the general Swedish population by comparing observed and ex...
متن کاملExposure of airline pilots and cabin crew to cosmic radiation during flight--what's the fuss?
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) had in 1990 recommended that civilian aircrew be classified as being occupationally exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation, in view of their increased exposure to cosmic rays at altitude. In 2000, the European Union had gone ahead with legislation which requires all European airlines to monitor cosmic radiation levels during flight ...
متن کاملPrevalence of risk factors for breast cancer in German airline cabin crew: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Many epidemiological studies point to an increased risk of breast cancer among female airline cabin crew. Possible causes include occupational factors (e.g. cosmic radiation exposure, chronodisruption), as well as lifestyle and reproductive factors. AIMS To investigate the frequency of various risk factors in German flight attendants which are recognised to be associated with breas...
