“…Some samples of Punjab and Haryana state shows the uranium concentration in water very high as compared to recommended limits. Data is compared with worldwide studies is given in as compare to Turkey [35], New York [36], USA [37,38], Argentina [39], Kuwait [40], Amazonas (Brazil) [41], Northern Greece [42], Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) [43] Switzerland [44] and South Greenland [48] while less than Jordan [46,47], Southwestern Sinai (Egypt) [48] and Russia [49].…”

Ionizing radiations are continuously exposed to human being. Natural radionuclides are available in different amount in environment. Uranium is found everywhere in water, rocks, soil and building material. Ground water is the main source of drinking water. So it becomes important to review the water quality of north India in view of uranium. Uranium is inhaled through drinking water in human body. In this regard, an extensive data has been compiled and reviewed in this article from North India and compared with safe limits from worldwide data. The majority of the reported articles are about monitoring of uranium concentration in water samples. Most of the reported data have been obtained using Fission track technique, ICPMS, laser fluorimetery and LED fluorimetery.

“…Previous studies in countries like Finland, Jordan, the USA, and Sweden [18][19][20][21][22] have shown very high uranium concentration in groundwater. In contrast, countries such as Argentina, Canada, Italy, Kuwait, South Greenland [19,[23][24][25][26] have shown relatively low uranium concentration. In India, too, several studies have been executed to estimate the groundwater uranium concentration.…”

Uranium concentration has been estimated in 31 groundwater samples collected from the Nalbari district of Assam in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season. Fourteen other water quality parameters have also been monitored to study their correlation with uranium. The uranium concentration varies from 0.3 to 7.1 µg/L with the mean value of 2.15 µg/L in pre-monsoon and 0.6–10.3 µg/L with the mean value of 2.75 µg/L in the post-monsoon season. The higher concentration of uranium in post-monsoon may be ascribed to the dissolution of uranium from soil sediments in the rainy season. It has been observed that the uranium content in both seasons is far lower than the WHO (2011) permissible limit of 30 µg/L. In both seasons, nitrate, sulphate, and especially phosphate show a positive correlation with uranium, which may be due to different agricultural activities. Agricultural nitrate and phosphate fertilization might be the carrier of uranium in groundwater through dissolution. For all life stage groups, the annual effective dose was appeared to be far below the WHO (2011) prescribed limit of 100 µSv/y. In consideration to adults, the ingestion dose for infants was turned out to be higher. The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk was less than the permissible limits for both children and adults. Both dose value and risk indices were found higher in the post-monsoon season.

Various types of mineral and drinking waters have been tested for the simultaneous determination of 226Ra and 22SRa using 3M's EMPORE TM Radium Rad Disks. Both r adionuclides 226Ra and 228Ra were counted through their daughter products, 226Ra by the conventional radon emanation technique and 22SRa through its daughter 22SAc by using a proportional counter. 0.2 M diammonium hydrogen citrate adjusted by ammonia to pH 7.8 was used for radium stripping from the disk and 3.10 -4 M diammonium hydrogen citrate was used for actinium washing from the disk.
