法国西南部巴约讷法院作出裁决，认定59岁的法航前空乘人员Sophie Lainault所患乳腺癌属于职业病，并将宇宙辐射列为导致其患癌的职业致病因素之一 1。这是法国法院首次确认宇宙辐射与空乘人员患癌之间的职业关联，该裁决使当事人可提前退休并获得全额医疗报销，也为其他机组人员提出类似索赔铺平道路 1。
法院认定，宇宙辐射、被动吸烟和长期夜班工作是导致Lainault患癌的三大致癌职业危害，而法航航班直至2000年仍允许吸烟 1。Lainault在1989年至2019年间累计飞行12600小时，超过一半为夜间飞行 1。哈佛大学医学院本月研究显示，在500多种职业中，空乘和飞行员的辐射相关癌症死亡率最高，其中空乘约6.9%的死亡和飞行员约6.7%的死亡源于辐射相关癌症 1。
A court in Bayonne, southwestern France, has ruled for the first time that cosmic radiation is one of the occupational causes of breast cancer in a former Air France flight attendant, officially recognizing her illness as an occupational disease 1. The 59-year-old former crew member, Sophie Lainault, accumulated 12,600 flight hours between 1989 and 2019, with more than half of those hours flown during night shifts 1. This decision allows Lainault to retire early and receive full medical reimbursement, while also paving the way for other airline crew members to file similar compensation claims 1.
In addition to cosmic radiation, the court identified passive smoking and long-term night work as the other two occupational cancer hazards 1. Air France permitted smoking on its flights until the year 2000 1. A study released this month by Harvard Medical School revealed that flight attendants and pilots experience the highest radiation-related cancer mortality rates among more than 500 occupations 1. According to the research, radiation-related cancers account for approximately 6.9% of all deaths among flight attendants and 6.7% among pilots 1.
