Introduction The topic of pregnancy and flies has not yet been sufficiently researched scientifically and there are hardly any studies that deal with the long-term consequences of flies in general and also not with the consequences during pregnancy. Many pregnant women use the airplane up to a certain point in time for short and long … Can I fly when I’m pregnant?
Radiation during flight Radiation during flights is a dreaded and meanwhile well investigated danger of flying. It has long been known from measurements that the electromagnetic radiation at a flight altitude of 10,000 metres is many times higher than on the ground. While an average radiation level of 0.24 mSv (millisievert) is measured on the … Radiation during flight | Can I fly when I’m pregnant?
People who travel long distances by air travel at altitudes of 9,000 to 12,000 meters. Through technology that creates a kind of artificial atmosphere, the pressure in airplanes is equivalent to that at an altitude of about 2,000 meters to 2,500 meters, which is about as high as St. Moritz in Switzerland. Studies have shown … Thin Air: Lack of Oxygen on the Plane?
Flying has become completely natural nowadays. However, anyone who flies a lot exposes themselves to increased radiation. Why? High-energy radiation from space constantly hits the earth. The atmosphere shields much of the radiation, but at high altitudes, such as in an airplane, radiation levels increase. High-altitude radiation is the term used to describe the ionizing … Radiation Protection: An Issue Even Above the Clouds
Only a few moments after the plane takes off, you hear a “pop” in your ears and have the feeling of hearing worse: Everyone is probably familiar with these problems when flying. But where does the pressure on the ears come from and what helps against the discomfort after takeoff and landing? We provide the … Why you Get Pressure on your Ears on a Plane
Birds are made for flying – humans are not. However, we have developed good abilities to adapt to the extreme conditions of a flight. Still, the sharp changes in air pressure and the high speed of a flight can cause problems – especially the teeth are sensitive. Toothache caused by pressure Gases expand as the … Why Can you Get a Toothache on an Airplane?
