Abstract | |||
The purpose of this study is to perform a biodosimetric assessment of cosmic radiation exposure using a method that measures cumulative radiation dose. We will compare chromosomal aberrations, measured by flourescence in situ hybridization (FISH), among 90 long-haul airline pilots and 50 university faculty with minimal flying experience. |
