"Radiation Clouds", here's what we know about it

Nuvole radioattive

The so-called “radiation clouds” assuming that its existence is officially confirmed, according to NASA researchers they could put the health of those who take long plane journeys at risk.

This would occur because these would significantly increase the normal dose of ionizing radiation absorbed during flight.

NASA researchers recently installed radiation sensors aboard 264 research flights and were able to detect high levels of radiation on six occasions. The hypothesis is that some of these clouds can trap cosmic rays and therefore concentrate them.

E’ I know that high exposure to ionizing radiation could cause serious health problems, such as cancer and reproductive problems.

However, even if flying through a cloud of radiation would not be excessively harmful to health because even if this would double the exposure, this would only happen for a short period of time.

What would happen if exposed to radiation clouds

'For example if there were radiation clouds on the North Atlantic route, then for any radiation cloud you would pass through assuming it could exist along the route, si otterrebbe una dose equivalente a 1/20 di una radiografia del torace “, Kent Tobiska said this, lead author of the study and president, Space Environment Technologies a MailOnline.

“This however would assume that there would be an average of half an hour of flight through the cloud and if by hypothesis if there were five clouds along the way, allora si otterrebbe un’aggiunta 1/4 di una radiografia del torace in quel solo volo.

The strange radiation clouds were discovered by researchers from the NASA-supported program, Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety (ARMAS), based in Los Angeles.
