Cosmic radiation from space poses a significant threat to certain occupations. People who work at high altitudes are more exposed to this type of radiation. A recent study examined the impact of cosmic radiation on various groups.

Researchers found that flight attendants and pilots face the greatest risk of dying from radiation-related cancers. This risk is even higher than for those who work with radioactive materials.

Further details on the study's findings are available, including the methodology used to analyze national data from a large group of people.
