  1. I doubt it. Je?li samochód okien UV ochronne, dlaczego nie nale?y okna samolotu? By the way, s?o?ce nie musi by? w waszych oczach si? raka skóry. Jest to rak skóry, oczu nie raka.

  2. I would imagine the canopy would provide compariable protection along with most high altitude flight suits are full cover suits, so I would say no.

  3. No.The frequency response of glass does not generally extend up to the ultra violet frequency.

  4. Letztes I h?rte, there' s kein bedeutender Beweis, dass langfristiges Fliegen verursacht Krebs ausgenommen

    Anscheinend kann langfristiges Fliegen auf polaren Wegen (?ber dem Nord- oder S?dpol), Krebs und/oder Sterilit?t verursachen. I won' t fliegt jene polaren Wege sicher bis I' m nah an Ruhestand: (

  5. Glass blocks UV rays that are hazardous to beans, human beans.

  6. Its not the UV radiation that is hazardous, as the glass windows in a jet effectively absorb most of the UV radiation.

    The hazard is gamma radiation, which also comes form the sun and is usually absorbed by the lower levels of atmosphere. I once had a nuclear physicist on board a flight (pre 9/11!) with gamma radiation detectors and showed me that a pilot (and passengers) are exposed to more gamma radiation at 40,000 feet than a nuclear power plant worker! It was interesting to see how the intensity varied with altitude. He also explained it was a function of time as well as intensity to contribute to total exposure.

    But after 39 years of flying commercial and military jets, I’m as healthy as ever, and I have never heard of any increased risk of cancer among my pilot colleagues.

  7. The concorde was the only plane i ever heard that being associated with and it included the passengers even thought the windows were not large, It was the altitude that had something to do with it, but the cockpit windows are like bullet proof almost and i belived they absorbed some of the uv, but tha pax never got much protection
