A member asked:
Which professions have the highest occupational exposure to radiation, and does it prove itself in cancer cases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uranium miners: Then uranium workers, followed by flight crews (pilots and flight attendants). No, it doesn't show up in cancer cases, because safety measures are so good.
