    AnnotationAircrew is now recognised as one of the most heavily exposed groups to ionising radiation. The galactic cosmic radiation that enters the atmosphere, will create secondary ionising particles, which cause the radiation dose. The most important dose components are generated by electrons, neutrons, protons, photons and muons. The European Council has issued a Directive (96/29/Euratom) that requests that the radiation dose to air crew has to be assessed by the airlines. The exposure to the galactic cosmic rays and its secondary particles at normal cruising altitudes varies during a solar cycle. It also varies with flight level and the geomagnetic position. Sometimes changes in the exposure are observed because of unpredictable solar activities. The exposure rate is therefore varying in time in a complicated way
