solar radiation and the developing fetusFrom: Krista (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 29 Mar 2000 08:43:21 -0600 (CST)
I am planning to become pregnant. Should I be concerned about any possibility of chromosomal damage to the developing fetus caused by solar radiation during air travel? I had heard on a science radio program that flying at 37,000 ft cruising altitude can cause exposure to soalr radiation equivalent to 3-4 chest x-rays.
