Risk factor for a pathologist working with radiation

["LAM HOI CHING, JOHN" <lamhc@HKUSUA.HKU.HK>]

Dear radsafers,

  I am searching for the occupational risk for pathologist. As they have to

work with chemicals and biological specimens. They tackled with bacteria,

viruses and toxic chemicals too. I think that they should not be scared of

radiation more than bacteria etc. To compare the risk factors of

bio-chemical exposure wrt to radiation exposure may sound possible.

If I can know their annual risk factor by value ( say of a value 1/1000 in

a year). Then I can easily make a good comparison with radiation worker,

say according to ICRP 60 that 20mSv , 50 x 10^-3 Sv , eqv. to 1/1000 risk

factor.

  Thank you for anyone respond to that issue.
