as a flight attendant, we have the highest amount of miscarriages in any industry. my book on becoming pregnant tells 3 different times how hard it is to become pregnant while flying a lot in the airplane. after being off work for 2 months, i just now became pregnant, and i know this info is in the pilots association web site. our union wont print the radiation chart for the f/a s to see. if you know a pilot, ask him to print it up, you wouldn't believe how much radiation is up there on a plane. im going to find a pilot friend, and ask him to do this, will get back to you with more statistics. t
Answerhttp://www.hps.org/publicinformation/ate/faqs/pregnancyandflying.HTMLthis web site has good information and the risk is very very very....... small for the occasional flyer. the radiation is typical cosmic radiation the kind you get from just stepping outside on a sunny day.the closer you get to the sun the greater the radiation. read the site
That depends on type of radiation, dosage, and area exposed.
no false
The UV radiation can harm us by causing eye cataract. You can protect yourself by planting more tress to avoid UV's.
that depends on the frequency of the rays of light.
Ionizing radiation has the ability to harm proteins and change the sequence of DNA, causing mutations. This can have harmful effects for the cell
they are passed to the fetus and cause imbalanced compounds that effect DNA
yes.....it can
The fetus is not in the bowel, so, no. If the fetus has been borne, then still, no.
No, they are safe.
Not likely.
It may not harm the fetus but will harm YOU for sure. Say NO to 'drugs'.
Radiation will always harm people no matter where they are, as it causes cancer.
Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays for sure, but even infrared radiation, at very high intensities, could cause harm (burning) to living human tissue.
No
Absolutely YES! Substances of good/bad can be transported from what is inhale by the mother to the fetus by the process of "blood flow from the mother to the fetus" or entering the umbilical cord to the fetus .
Not al radiation is harmful. There would be no life on earth if the radiation, which we call sunlight, did not exist.
There is no "radiation antidote". There are several drugs that can reduce the harm from radiation, but no one antidote.
