rhodopsin
exposure
Dehydration reduces blood volume, which can contribute to this common in-flight symptom during long flights
fatigue
The radiation from sunlight that can cause sunburn and eye damage during flight is primarily this type
ultraviolet radiation
If a pilot suspects carbon monoxide exposure, this is the first cockpit control that should be turned off
cabin heat
Cabin humidity in many aircraft can be lower than this desert-like percentage
10-20%
What condition is associated with muscle stiffness and weakness, fatigue, and sometimes drowsiness in cold conditions?
hypothermia
This hormone increases during dehydration, contributing to fatigue and irritability
cortisol
This solar event can temporarily increase radiation exposure for pilots flying at high altitudes
solar flare / solar radiation storm
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning often resemble this altitude-oxygen related physiological condition
hypoxia

You should try to drink ____ your amount of body weight in ounces of water a day
1/2 (around 0.5 ounces per lb)
Flying closer to these regions of Earth increases radiation exposure
poles (polar regions)
These fumes from fuel leaks or poor ventilation can contaminate cabin air and cause dizziness or nausea
fuel/gas vapors

20%
Above what temperature are you susceptible to heat stroke
>105°
A dehydrated pilot flying in hot conditions may also be more susceptible to this environmental stressor
heat stress/stroke
This type of radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and potentially damage cells
