Bill 119 hr 530, also known as the "Aircrew Cancer Study Act," aims to conduct a study on the prevalence and mortality of cancer among individuals who served as active duty aircrew in the Armed Forces. The study will be carried out by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
The purpose of this study is to gather data and information on the rates of cancer among active duty aircrew members, as well as the mortality rates associated with these cancers. The goal is to better understand the potential health risks and challenges faced by these individuals due to their service in the military.
The study will also examine any potential links between exposure to certain environmental factors or hazards during their service and the development of cancer among aircrew members. This information will be crucial in identifying any patterns or trends that may exist and in developing strategies to address and mitigate these risks in the future.
Overall, the Aircrew Cancer Study Act seeks to provide valuable insights into the health and well-being of active duty aircrew members and to inform future policies and initiatives aimed at protecting their health and safety.
