Radiation link in flight attendant's breast cancer, French court finds
Europe2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported4m ago
A French court has ruled that a former Air France flight attendant's breast cancer is an occupational disease, establishing a legal precedent for the country's aviation industry. The case was brought by Sophie Lainault, who spent more than 12,600 hours working on flights.
Her legal victory successfully links the development of her illness to occupational radiation exposure during her career. According to her lawyer and a trade union, this marks the first time such a connection has been officially recognised within the French aviation sector.
