Pilots More Likely To Develop Skin Cancer Due To Higher Levels Of UV Radiation At High Altitude? - skin cancer more condition_symptoms
I can not remember where I read it, but it was the result of a test by pilots in Iceland. Do you think that this is true? The only way to bear the sunlight into the cabin through the windshield, and most planes summit and most drivers sunglasses when it's sunny. Are they as dangerous as people on the ground for the development of skin cancer?

This is not the UV radiation is dangerous, because the windows in a jet effectively absorb most UV radiation.
The danger is, gamma, also from the sun and is usually absorbed by the lower layers of the atmosphere. I once had a nuclear physicist, a flight on board (before 9 / 11 ") with gamma ray detectors and showed me that the driver) (and more people are exposed to gamma rays of 40,000 feet of factory workers of nuclear power, it was interesting to see how the intensity varies with altitude. He explained that this was contributing a function of time and intensity to the total exposure.
But after 39 years of commercial and military aircraft, I am as healthy as ever, and I've never heard of an increased risk of cancer in my teammates.
The Concorde is the only aircraft which implies that they are connected, and accepted by passengers, even if the windows were not large, it was the altitude had something to do, but the window of the cabin near bulletproof and I , conviction that UV absorption, but never more tha pax Protection
Last I heard, there is significant evidence that long-term cancer causing fly ... Except ...
Obviously, long-term polar flight routes (North or South Pole), can cause cancer and / or infertility. I'm not going to polar routes for you until I am flying over the retirement ... : (
I can imagine that the cap would provide protection Comparia and most costumes costumes for flying high cover, so I will not say.
I doubt it. If the car window is UV protection, why not the plane of the windows?
In fact, the sun was not in the eyes of the development of skin cancer. Skin cancer, eye cancer is not.
No, do not extend the frequency response of glass in general, to the frequency of ultra-violet.
Glass blocks UV rays, for beans that are dangerous to humans.
