Recent trends in cosmic radiation exposure onboard aircraft: effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Japanese in-flight doses
The results of this study indicate that the population-average APCD of Japanese flyers decreased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, while the flyer-average APCD remained largely unchanged. Further studies will be performed to determine APCDs for the subsequent period and to assess the overall effect of the pandemic on public health.
