Hazardous Skies

At high altitudes, which are the domain of commercial airliners, cosmic radiation exposure rates are hundreds of times greater than at ground level. If this radiation originated at a regulated medical or industrial facility, many frequent flyers would receive annual exposures in excess of the legal limit applicable to members of the general public. For pregnant travelers, the risk to the fetus is exponential.

Most fliers are unaware of the cosmic (Gamma and Neutron) radiation that they are exposed to during commercial flights. Demron^TM  will be made into flight uniforms, aircraft linings and will be added to the exterior of aircraft as paint to protect the occupants from cosmic radiation.
