“…Both micropipettes and an analytical balance were used simultaneously to avoid any error in pipetting. The details of the optimisation method and analysis protocol are given elsewhere (Rathore et al, 2001). …”
A study was done to evaluate the ingestion dose due to uranium in drinking water.The area of study is the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India. The uranium concentration in water samples was analysed by laser-induced fluorimetry. The associated age-dependent radiation dose was estimated by taking the prescribed water intake values and dose conversion factors for different age groups. The concentration of uranium varies from below the detection limit (
“…Sodium pyro phosphate (Na 4 P 2 O 7 ·10H 2 O) was used as fluorescence enhancement reagent, as well as a complexing agent . The details of the optimization of method and analysis protocol are given elsewhere (Rathore et al, 2001;Sahoo et al, 2009). …”
Precise and accurate estimation of natural radioactivity is essential in order toappraise the radiation dose to the member of public due to various intakes. In the present study, an attempt has been made to estimate the uranium content in packaged drinking water by laser induced fluorimetry and then to calculate the committed effective dose. Sixty packaged drinking water samples of different brands were analysed for uranium content. The total uranium content in these samples was found to be in the range of 0.04-3.88 µg l -
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
