In progress
Crew members onboard commercial airlines are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation at flight altitude from galactic sources. These exposures over time have a potential to adversely impact health. An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a study on radiation exposure to crew members aboard commercial airlines for select flight paths. The committee will consider existing literature and data, as well as current computational methods, to evaluate and estimate radiation exposure of flight crew and the potential health outcomes from radiation exposure. Potential mitigation methods will also be considered.
