RE: Information on radiation protection from Pakistan
Extremity dosimeters are indicated for personnel using gamma and high
energy beta emitters such as P-32, I-125 and Co-57. No extremity dosimeter
is sensitive to C-14 or H-3. You may also want to consider a policy that
waivers this requirement for personnel who handle limited quantities of
these isotopes, say in the microcurie range.

Hello raders,
I have a request that please inform me if fingure dose monitoring is
required in labs using P32, I125, Co57 and C14 tritium etc.
We have labs such as Clinical chemistry, Biosafety hazard level-II,
Biochemistry etc.
Now if we have a measure of whole body dose using TLD badges then should we
still be using extremity monitoring.
just to have convincing evidence I need some input from my international
colleagues on above questions.
In addition would some one kindly inform me on an out line of a course on
radiation protection to all the above people including radiology and
nuclear
medicine personnel, then I would be grateful to you as I plan to conduct a
course on this topic myself and then have it added to our regular CME/CPD
programme.
Regards,
Ishtiaq
