| Abstract:: |
| With the development of the aviation industry, aircrew face occupational health risks due to their long-term exposure to high-altitude cosmic radiation. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) officially included aircrew in the category of occupational groups exposed to radiation in its Publication 103 in 2007. In recent years, there have been multiple cases in South Korea where some members of aircrew have successfully obtained work-related injury compensation due to radiation related diseases such as leukemia and stomach cancer. To address this occupational health challenge, the South Korean government has revised the Radiation Safety Management Law for Living Areas based on ICRP recommendations, and specifically formulated regulations for managing radiation dose limits for aircrew. The systematic study of the impact of cosmic radiation on the health of aircrew could provides scientific basis for optimizing protective measures and improving industry policies, which is of great significance for safeguarding the occupational health rights and interests of practitioners. |
