Sadly, I think those issues are here already.

Confronting discussions about my own radio-oncology treatment revealed for female crew (majority being flight attendants) there was a over-representation in their numbers for breast cancer after 5 years on the job.

We know gamma ray busts go off 2-3 times a day. Not an issue at sea level....but at FL410? As an aside, Concorde which cruised well above the Hoi Polli at FL600+, had a VSI like gauge which was a actually a radiation meter. You had to descend when it went off to avoid being fried.
