The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is currently conducting a consensus study on possible increased cancer risks related to military veteran aviators service. The study will examine the types of exposures experienced by fixed-wing aircraft aircrew and review scientific evidence on whether those exposures may be linked to cancer. The committee will also assess available data on cancer rates, illness, and deaths among veterans who began serving in 1990 or later. The final report will summarize findings, identify research gaps, and recommend next steps for future studies.

This event will be open to the public and include discussions related to the occupational exposures of military aviators.
