Cosmic radiation creates unfriendly skies

1. What can happen to you when your exposed to radiation on an airplane.
2. It relates by telling you it does create unfriendly skies when your exposed to radiation.
3. 19200 hours
4. 2.5 millirens per day.
5. 28.44 per trip
6. Shorter flights
7. 23
8. 22
9. Yes, because it is an additional 3 million people that receive cancer.
10. Higher radiation rates during a solar storm can occur. So that would be something to lead to solar weather forcasting.
11. Dear Federal Aviation Administration or the Department of Tranportation,
I feel it is important to educate people on solar radiation because of the damaging things that can happen to you. a solar storm can produce enough radiation to equal a significant fraction of a chest X-ray's dosage even at typical passenger altitudes of 35,000 feet. The situation is even worse for airline pilots and flight attendants who spend over 900 hours in the air every year. By those facts alone we are at such a risk of cancer and exposure to radiation. For everybody's own personal safety, I feel we must educate everyone on this issue.

Thanks,
Seth
