having worked in this field I can confidently say,

Maybe if we continue with humans we run the risk like me of getting cancer but, human ingenuity and thinking might have the edge

if we give the robots the job we would no longer worry about the hazmat suits, or the lives that I will cost my one problem with robots or AI taking over this job is how would we make something that doesn't leak the hazardous materials but is versatile enough to go through any terrain to reach the materials

The job requires on the fly changes in work procedures and in most situations requires human judgement throughout the process.

I do not think that the professions that are intertwined with humans can be done by robots. I believe that robots will be more effective in virtual environments and digital platforms. In addition, when this situation is in question, I think that after a while there will be communication difficulties and communication between people will be more difficult, so problems affecting the world may arise.
