it is the same for everybody.

the dose of C14 is so low, it's almost equivalent to 2 hrs standing under the sun. Because it's so safe. it's being approved by FDA for pregnant women and children.

Have a read from Prof Marshall's early article about C14 dosage.
The effective dose equivalent (global mean) to an average person from natural sources was recently reported by UNSCEAR to be 2.4 mSv/yr. Approximately 800 C14-urea "microdose" breath tests (37 kBq per tests) would generate the same effective dose equivalent.
