Genetic Radiation Risks to the Live born child in an AIRCRAFT



A live born child conceived after radiation exposure of one or both parents is considered to be at risk of inheriting one or more radiation-induced genetic defects.
Worse case scenario: where both parents have been exposed (Risk is additive) is 171 in 1 million (or 2 in 10,000) which is 0.002% , 1 /100th of the general population risk
Note: These are additional risk factors to the general population rate of serious anatomic abnormalities in offspring which, in the West, is 200 - 300 in 10,000 or 2% to 3%
