No: We are exposed to radiation every day if our life just living on earth and flying 30 hours is equivalent to 1 X-ray .Think of all the travel that people do. https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/radiation/around-us/doses-daily-lives.html https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-news/1032898-radiation-30-hours-flying-radiation-1-x-ray.html
