On increased Radiation Exposure. I have been noticing an interesting phenomena. Check and see if what I have seen relates to your own personal observations. I have noticed that more and more people have red faces than before. Especially pilots, bus drivers, construction workers and even a few of us car wash guys. I have noticed this in more than just a few states. Should we attribute this to increased radiation hitting Earth through thinner sections of our atmosphere? I recently read an alarming article in Business and Commercial Aviation Magazine, Sept. about Radiation exposure and hazards of the job. Title of article was Living With Radiation. It is an interesting article and seems to go along with my theory of observation. We know from other accounts about a whole in our Ozone, Two-one in South Pole and one in the North Pole area. When solar wind is weak cosmic radiation is at its maximum. At a solar maximum we have more sun spots and solar flares. Ionizing radiation is dangerous and can harm chromosomes and hurt your DNA. Meaning you could have problems with malignant diseases and screw up the next generation. It appears that certain professions which keep people outside and pilots which fly at above 20,000 feet can be the most seriously affected. But nearly everyone in the sun between the poles and the tropic of Capricorn or Cancer too can be affected Argentina has blind sheep and Austrailia has known skin cancer results which are scary statistics. That is not Global Warming but may contribute to false data and be attributed to such. I bet the people in Oregon at the University are now hating me. The Kyoto Treaty needs to be reworked at the other end of the 11 year cycle. Check out this website; http://www.afanet.org/cosmicradiation.htm A study was also done with 22,417 Navy Aviators. Higher rates of Hodgkins Disease, testis cancer and melanoma. In the review of former British Airways Pilots 411 of them there was a significant cause of death a cancer. Also see http://www.cami.jccbi.gov/aam-400a/Abstracts/pdf_index.html also for another interesting tid bit. An interesting book which I have not read is; The Invisible Passenger-Radiation Risks for Pilots, By dr. Robert J. Barish. With all this now known, and with the observations I have seen I think I maybe a little concerned about what is going on and why, how and such. All Car Wash Guys should be smart when working out side and where sun glasses and on days with no cloud cover put on a little sun screen for your face, nose and arms. We talk about that in the Operations Manual so you may wish to re-read those chapters. We will be updating the chapters on the safety section to include more of this Information. Pay attention. http://www.AviationNow.com/BCA
