Pierdoły gadasz. Ogół pilotów ma mniejsze zachorowanie na raka niż reszta społeczeństwa (głównie poprzez zdrowszy tryb życia) jedybym nowotworem złośliwym gdzie piloci są bardziej narażeni to nowotwór prostaty.

A recent study in JAMA Dermatology found just one hour at 30,000 feet could expose pilots to the same amount of UV radiation as a 20-minute tanning bed session would. These levels could be significantly higher when flying over thick cloud layers and snow fields, which could reflect up to 85% of UV radiation

Airplane windshields are commonly made of polycarbonate plastic or multilayer composite glass. UV-B (280-320 nm) transmission through both plastic and glass windshields was reported to be less than 1%. However, UV-A (320-380 nm) transmission ranged from 0.41% to 53.5%, with plastic attenuating more UV radiation than glass.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:Pilots and cabin crew have approximately twice the incidence of melanoma compared with the general population. Further research on mechanisms and optimal occupational protection is needed.

as a passenger, you’re up against a smaller window and far less cumulative exposure. Still, over time, hours in the sun (yes, even by a window) add up, increasing your risk of skin cancer
